Authorities say a fugitive wanted on charges related to violent crimes elsewhere in New England has been arrested in Maine.

The U.S. Marshals Service and Maine state authorities said late Friday that 33-year-old Ramon Smith of Massachusetts was arrested in Ellsworth.

Smith was being sought by Connecticut for a warrant issued for homicide and by Massachusetts for another warrant issued for strangulation.

Authorities says he was located in a hotel in Ellsworth and was apprehended without incident.
