Can a US Marshal arrest someone in the military?
A federal marshal does have a wide jurisdiction and can arrest a military official just like anyone else, but normally military police and a military court will deal with a soldier in an arrest case (if it happened on military property or while they are in service (DEPLOYED). Just because you are a soldier doesn't make you any less vulnerable to arrest. A village police officer can arrest a military official if a violation occurs in their jurisdiction. No soldier immunity in the U.S.Cheers!
