A Maryland fugitive wanted on assault and robbery charges was captured in Middletown on Friday, officials said.
Oliver Agyopong, 21, was arrested by U.S. Marshals along with members of the Middletown and New Haven Police Departments, according to the U.S. Marshals Service. He was wanted out of Silver Spring, Maryland, on charges of armed robbery, conspiracy to commit armed robbery, first-degree assault, second-degree assault, use of a firearm in a violent crime and theft.
Agyopong was located at a residence on Ferry Street in Middletown and taken into custody, officials said.
Montgomery County detectives have been investigating several armed robberies in the Silver Spring area of Maryland since March, according to officials. Agyapong and two others were identified as suspects in some of the robberies, and a warrant was issued for their arrest.
Agyopong was the last of the three suspects to be arrested, officials said.
Agyopong was transported to the Middletown Police Department where he will be held pending extradition to Maryland, according to officials.
