Federal crime task force sent to Memphis tops 10,000 arrests

A missing 14-year-old girl was rescued last Monday night from a drug-filled motel room in Memphis, Tennessee, in what police are investigating as a child trafficking incident. The man found with the child was arrested and taken away by a swath of federal, state, and local police on site.

That man is among roughly 10,600 people who have been arrested in Memphis by the Memphis Safe Task Force in its nine months of operation in America's most crime-ridden city, according to Gadyaces Serralta, the government official overseeing the operation.
