Members of the task force were conducting surveillance in an area of North Philadelphia where they believed 24-year-old Nasir Grant was staying, said Robert Clark, a supervisory deputy with the Marshals Service Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
“I believe he was thoroughly surprised,” Clark said, adding that“He submitted to our commands, and it was pretty much an uneventful arrest, which is the way we like it,” Clark said.
Clark described the search for the two men as “exhausting,” with all task force members working 16- to 18-hour days. The arrest of Grant will allow the task force to focus on the hunt for Hurst, he said.
