2009 Arrest
The last remaining suspect, Vernon Marcus Coleman, a rapper going by the name WU, was arrested on July 17, 2009 in Atlanta. He was indicted in 2007 for possession with intent to distribute cocaine. To date all 150 indicted members of BMF have been arrested. However, the total number of BMF members exceeded well over 150; the federal government believes the 150 they have indicted and arrested account for the command and control structure, as well as other key figures in the organization (such distributors, stash house operators, and transporters).

Famous quotes containing the word arrest:
“The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life. Since man is mortal, the only immortality possible for him is to leave something behind him that is immortal since it will always move. This is the artist’s way of scribbling “Kilroy was here” on the wall of the final and irrevocable oblivion through which he must someday pass.”
—William Faulkner (1897–1962)
