The Franklin County Sheriff's Office said Denn was arrested in Chesterville and charged by deputies with being a fugitive from justice and giving a false name and address.

Police said he was pulled over on Chesterville Hill Road after reports of suspicious activity. Police said he provided them a false name and date of birth. Additional law enforcement arrived on scene and Denn's vehicle was searched. The sheriff's office said numerous stolen items and evidence of criminal activity were discovered.

Denn later admitted to his true identity at Franklin County Detention Center, the sheriff's office said.
