Jenkins, Foster and Grays remain in federal custody awaiting a detention hearing. Robinson was released with a jury trial date for November 30, 2020.

“These individual were indicted in federal court after they were arrested in separate incidents by West Memphis Police Department officers,” said Assistant Chief Robert Langston.
