Former Tallassee Assistant Police Chief Chris Mile was taken into custody by U.S. Marshals on Thursday morning, nearly a week after he failed to turn himself in to serve prison time.

Miles was arrested without incident at around 7 a.m. at a residence in Notasulga, according to the U.S. Marshals Service. He was transported to the Frank M. Johnson Federal Building to await an initial appearance before a federal magistrate judge.

A pre-trial release warrant was issued for Miles after he failed self-surrender to the Federal Bureau of Prisons on Friday, May 6.

Miles was set to start his 41-month sentence following November's guilty plea to one count of deprivation of rights, two counts of false statements and one count of possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute.

Miles is accused of using his capacity as assistant police chief to beat a suspect during a child sex abuse interrogation in April 2013. Prosecutors say the beating coerced false confessions from Stephen Conrad, who admitted to additional victims that didn't exist. This resulted in more than 100 additional charges that were later dropped.

Miles' sentencing was also for the allegation he stole 16 pounds of marijuana from evidence and sold it to a drug dealer.
