According to law enforcement, Prince was found hidden in the rafters under some blankets. He was taken into custody without incident.
“Once again a South Florida refugee believes he can find a hiding place here in Cleveland, Ohio, and once again members of our task force find him within hours and arrest him,” Marshal Pete Elliot said in a statement. “Ohio will not be a haven for those on the run.”
Prince is currently being held in Cuyahoga County Jail pending extradition to Lee County.
