Police had been looking for Michael Brandon Bryan, 37, since Monday.

WCTI12 reported that 15 agencies worked to find Bryan and that several West Virginia agencies assisted in his capture. The sheriff’s office said he was arrested in Summersville, West Virginia, without incident Wednesday afternoon.

Details of the charges against Bryan were not provided. Hughes said if the suspect does not waive his extradition hearing, he will seek a Governor’s warrant for his return to North Carolina.
