Bedford police Sgt. Mike Heller tells The Roanoke Times that the U.S. marshals service and local police took 29-year-old Deandre Kelly into custody on Monday. He didn't provide details.

Maryland state police arrested Kelly on drug, weapon and traffic charges on Jan. 22 after a traffic stop. He was also wanted by federal authorities in connection with drug charges in Washington, D.C.

A grand jury has indicted Kelly and eight alleged co-conspirators in the escape.
