Jackson, TN – The U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) and Jackson Police Department arrested a Jackson couple, Jamar Hardiman, 45, and his wife, Crysta Hardiman, 37, after a barricade situation during an arrest.
NOTE: Crysta Hardiman owned ‘Big Burger,’ 284 Airways Blvd., and Nineteen-B, 41 Stonebrook Place, Suite 19-B, in West Towne Commons.
On July 30, 2025, the USMS Two Rivers Violent Fugitive Task Force (TRVFTF) in Jackson attempted to serve an arrest warrant on Jamar Hardiman for Failure to Appear for trial in Madison County Circuit Court, Division II on charges of Possession of a Weapon by a Convicted Felon, Schedule VI Drugs with Intent, and Possession of a Firearm with Intent to Go Armed. The charges stem from an investigation by the 26th Judicial Drug Task Force.
When the USMS Task Force attempted to serve the warrant at Hardiman’s residence on Tanglewood Cove, he barricaded himself in the attic. Marshals held their position and utilized techniques to make the arrest. The Jackson Police and Fire Departments provided critical resources to assist the USMS during the operation.
Crysta Hardiman, who was also inside the residence at the time, had prior knowledge that Jamar Hardiman was wanted. During the investigation, she aided and harbored the fugitive, Jamar Hardiman, and therefore was arrested for Accessory After the Fact by JPD.
Jamar and Crysta Hardiman were both transported to the Madison County Jail.
