First and foremost, I know it sounds like you want to help your friend but you are not doing him any good by trying to do this on your own. It doesn't matter if a person has no prior, he can be charged with a felony. The FBI probably want to pick it up because of the federal implications this case may have.
If you want to help your friend, try www.attorneypages.com and/or the Tennessee State Bar to find a criminal defense attorney who has experience with federal holds.
