A Connecticut man wanted in connection with two homicides and led police on a multi-state hunt is in custody, Maryland authorities announced Wednesday.
Peter Manfredonia, 23, was taken into custody by the Washington County Sheriff’s Department and the U.S. Marshals just over the Maryland state line, while he was in the area of the Pilot truck stop on Halfway Boulevard, Hagerstown Police reported just before 10 p.m.
Hagerstown Police had been alerted to Manfredonia’s possible presence after he was seen in Chambersburg, Franklin County Pa., on Tuesday. At the time police believed Manfredonia was headed toward Hagerstown in a Uber.
Manfredonia began his crime spree in Connecticut over the weekend, and has been on the run for six days, police said. It was believed he was carrying a large duffle bag full of firearms he had stolen during a home invasion.
Through the course of the hunt for Manfredonia, police have said he was armed and dangerous. Hagerstown Police reported that he was taken into custody without incident.
