The man wanted in connection with a murder in Clark County has been arrested.
Thirty-one-year-old Jesse Lewis was taken into custody on Wednesday in Missoula, Montana, according to a statement issued by the Missoula Police Department.
Police received a tip that Lewis was in the area and later located him at the 2200 block of Mullan Road in Missoula. A SWAT team took Lewis into custody without incident, and he was taken and booked at a local jail.
Lewis was on the run for over a week after he allegedly killed 47-year-old Michael M. Walker of Florida in an apartment off of Athens Boonesboro Road.
He faces three charges back in Kentucky: murder, theft by unlawful taking (auto) and tampering with physical evidence.
