FBI raid on former Metro Council Member Pam Murray's house? [Correct: Secret Service raided Murray's home]

Last night District 5 CM J.R. Hollin tweeted that federal agents descended on the 800 block of Stockell in East Nashville. This morning I received a forwarded e-mail from a neighbor saying that "stuff, people, and cars" were confiscated from former District 5 CM Pam Murray's house by the FBI last night. Pam Murray lives at 802 Stockell. Any other information out there on what's going on with Ms. Murray?


UPDATE: East Nashville resident, Justin comments below:

I live around the corner on 800 block of N 2nd.

In the last two weeks, Metro PD prescence has gone crazy. Round the clock patrols, harassing anyone on the street, my neighbor (who helped Hollin get elected) was mowing my lawn and the police told him he had no business being there. Its been like a mini police state. Pam's been cruising the street ever since this has been going on, and has been behind at least some of the complaint calls to Metro. When my previously mentioned neighbors house was raided by SWAT, finding a really dangerous small bag of pot, Murray was outside watching.

UPDATE: The Tennessean has the story:
Agents were at the Stockell Street home Thursday evening, "Retrieving some items related to our investigation," said Keith Perrigan, assistant special agent in charge for the Secret Service's Nashville field office. Perrigan declined to detail the nature of the probe but said nobody had been arrested Friday.

Murray said the agents were investigating her son, who was on probation for a credit card fraud conviction out of Oklahoma. "I really think it's where my son violated his probation," she said. "His probation officer came there." Her son, Patrick Merriweather, 22, was convicted last year after he and two other men were caught in Sequoyah County, Okla., trying to use a stolen credit card at a country store. Investigators later found cash, a laptop computer, several credit cards and a credit card encoding machine in his car.
