For Release November 25, 2015

On Friday, November 20, 2015, an agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and an Eden Police Department detective boarded a flight to Bangkok, Thailand to escort Mickey Dale Snow to the United States. 

On Wednesday, November 25, 2015 at approximately 3:30pm, Mickey Dale Snow arrived in North Carolina. Mickey Snow was indicted by a Rockingham County Grand Jury on October 5, 2015 for six counts of Statutory Sex Offense and six counts of Patronizing a Prostitute. 

Eden Police detectives attempted to locate Snow after the warrants were secured. Eden Detectives learned that Mickey Snow traveled to Bangkok, Thailand. Once the Grand Jury of Rockingham County issued indictments for Snow, the Eden Police Department requested the assistance of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (Greensboro Office).  Snow was tracked to several countries to include Amsterdam, Panama and Thailand.  Once Snow returned to Thailand, agents and detectives worked closely with the United States Attorney’s Office in the Middle District of North Carolina and Federal Bureau of Investigation. State Department Special Agent Nickolas Mason, Regional Security Officer and Joy Prasittimakul the United States State Department Thai law enforcement liaison assisted Eden detectives and agents with locating and arrested Snow in Thailand.

Mickey Snow was taken into custody by Thai police in Bangkok, Thailand, on November 3, 2015 on a federal arrest warrant for “Unlawful Flight to Avoid Prosecution.”  He was being held in an immigration detention facility awaiting extradition back to the United States.

The arrest of Snow in Thailand was the result of many agencies working together.  The agencies that assisted in locating and arresting Snow include the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Middle District of North Carolina, the State Department and the Royal Thai Police in Thailand. 

Detectives with the Eden Police Department and FBI escorted Snow from a North Carolina airport back to the Eden Police Department for processing before being transported to the Wentworth Magistrates Office for service of the Grand Jury indictments.

Mickey Snow was transported to the Wentworth Magistrates Office where he received a $25 Million Secured Bond and is scheduled to have a first appearance in Wentworth on November 30, 2015.
