We're going to continue to show that by going out, not just sitting back answering calls, but going out and getting bad people off the street that have these warrants," Comeaux said.Malecha said the arrests account for 4% of the U.S. Marshal's national workload on robbery cases, and 70% of those arrested were cases that originated in Dallas-Fort Worth."We have been making a significant difference, and we're not going to stop providing unparalleled service to the residents of the city of Dallas," Malecha said."We are relentless in our search to apprehend the most violent criminals in the city of Dallas," Smith said. "We will not stop until we put them in jail, but with putting them in jail, we do it with dignity and respect."FOX 4 had previously covered the arrest of Marsavion McCollister, revealed today as a part of Operation Clean Sweep.Authorities said McCollister arranged to meet four people in January at an apartment complex to take photos when he pulled out a gun and took the victims’ belongings.On Feb. 19, Dallas Police arrested McCollister and charged him with aggravated robbery, calling him a "documented gang member."
