Update: Suspect in custody.

On June 9, 2026, officers with the Smithfield Police Department responded to McDonald's for a report of an assault that had just occurred.

During the investigation, officers learned that the victim was struck in the head with a rock in what appears to have been an unprovoked attack. The victim received medical treatment and was later released from the hospital.

Officers identified the suspect as Xavier Branch and conducted an extensive search of the area; however, he was not located. Warrants have been obtained charging Branch with Malicious Wounding.

The Smithfield Police Department would like to thank the Isle of Wight County Sheriff's Office for their assistance during the search.

Xavier Branch is currently wanted. Anyone with information regarding his current whereabouts is encouraged to contact the Smithfield Police Department at (757) 357-3247.

As always, do not approach a wanted individual. Contact law enforcement immediately if you have information regarding his location.

The FBI is offering a reward up to $50,000 for information to locate and capture Michael Timothy Puckett. This adds to the $10,000 already being offered by the U.S. Marshals Service for a combined reward up to $60,000.

FBI Richmond is assisting the Carroll County Sheriff's Office, U.S. Marshals, the Virginia State Police, and multiple local and state agencies in a manhunt for Puckett, who is facing an Aggravated Murder charge in Virginia.

Carroll County Sheriff's Office deputies responded to a welfare check at Puckett's home on Fancy Gap Highway on Friday at approximately 9:30 p.m. When they arrived and made contact, authorities said Puckett opened fire, shooting both deputies, killing one deputy and injuring the second. He then fled the scene.

We are asking the public to check surveillance video or trail/hunting camera images to assist in real-time tracking of the fugitive. We also ask home and business owners to lock your vehicles, close your garage doors, lock up your sheds and do not leave anything outside Puckett could use to assist him to elude capture. Call 911 if you see Puckett.

Yesterday, members of the Smithfield Police Department proudly received the Law Enforcement Torch Run Flame of Hope from the Suffolk Police Department and the Suffolk Virginia Sheriff's Office in support of Special Olympics Virginia.

The torch was passed to our team in preparation for Monday's run, when Smithfield officers and fellow Law Enforcement will carry the Flame of Hope through our community. This annual tradition represents law enforcement's commitment to supporting athletes with intellectual disabilities and helping raise awareness and funds for Special Olympics.

On Monday, June 1, our team will run approximately 5 miles from Sherwin-Williams to the Luter Sports Complex, traveling along South Church Street and Main Street.

If you see our runners and support vehicles along the route, please give them a wave and help us cheer on this incredible cause!

Together, we run for inclusion, acceptance, and opportunity for all.
