Suspect Hiding in Attic Fell through Ceiling When Authorities Came to Arrest Him

[left-of-center2012]

A Memphis, Tenn. man hid in his attic when authorities came looking for him on charges of murder and attempted first-degree murder. They caught him when he crashed through a ceiling separating the attic from the floor below, the U.S. Marshals Service announced Friday.

According to a press release, Quintrelle Doss was
wanted for firing a weapon toward a Memphis Police Officer on June 11, 2021. That incident led to an attempted first-degree murder charge. A subsequent incident on July 14, 2021, resulted in
“a separate and unrelated warrant for First Degree Murder,” the Marshalls Service said. The agency did not elaborate on the “circumstances” of the alleged murder.

A Shelby County Jail database lists the defendant’s name as Quintelle Doss, 31, and provides a booking date of Friday, Sept. 3rd. His aliases are listed as Quintrelle Doss (the name given by the U.S. Marshals Service), Marvelle Washington, and “Vell.” The jail records indicate he had been charged with first-degree murder and for being a convicted felon in possession of a handgun in connection with an offense dated Jan. 12, 2016. It is unclear whether that incident has been resolved.

He’s also been accused of theft of property valued between $1,000 and $2,500 over a March 20, 2021 offense. He’s further charged with attempted first-degree murder, possession of a firearm by a dangerous felon, and for being a convicted felon in possession of a handgun in connection with a June 23, 2021 offense, the jail records indicate.

4. Mother Nature's gravity arrested him quite well.

When I was in the volunteer fire service, we had one fireman that could never keep his footing and balance on attic joists and fell through ceilings repeatedly. We started making it a practice to keep him away from attic scuttle holes. I was a frequent attic fire attack man because I'm short.
