JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — A Mississippi deputy sheriff was arrested Thursday morning by the FBI, one of several arrests it made across multiple law enforcement agencies in the state, a local sheriff said.

Sunflower County Sheriff James Haywood confirmed the arrest of his deputy, Marvin Flowers, and said without giving details that the FBI has made other arrests among law enforcement. The county is in the northwest part of the state.

The FBI office in Jackson, the state capital, said it planned a major announcement later Thursday together with the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Northern District of Mississippi. It did not elaborate on the nature of the planned announcement.
