SANFORD (NEWS CENTER Maine) — A wanted fugitive from the Sanford village of Springvale was taken into custody Friday by federal and local law enforcement.
The FBI announced Wednesday a $5,000 tip leading to Joshua Patrick Weldon's arrest.
A spokesperson said the FBI safely took Weldon into custody at about 3 p.m. in Sanford with assistance from Maine State Police and the Sanford Police Department.
Weldon, who was considered armed and dangerous, had been wanted on a bail violation stemming from an Aug. 13 fentanyl-related charge, as well as evading officers on Nov. 6, according to the FBI.
"We’ve received dozens of tips over the last few days which were invaluable in bringing the investigation to a successful conclusion," the spokespersons said. "We thank the public for its assistance."
