Fort Drum soldier extradited to New Jersey where he faces murder charge
January 15, 2021
The accused killer of a Fort Drum soldier is in a New Jersey jail on Thursday night, where he will face murder and kidnapping charges.
Pvt. Jamaal Mellish, 23, was picked up from the Oneida County Correctional Facility on Thursday by Sussex County, N.J., law enforcement officials after waiving extradition, according to the jail in Oriskany.
Mellish is accused of abducting Cpl. Hayden A. Harris, 20, in Glen Park and driving him some 300 miles in the corporal’s 2017 Chevrolet Silverado pickup to Byram Township, N.J., after the soldiers had apparently argued about swapping vehicles.
