Jackson — Michigan State Police say they've captured a 53-year-old man who was wanted since he fled the last day of a criminal trial five months ago.
TV stations WNEM and WILX report Ricky Wheeldon was caught early Wednesday following a traffic stop in Ingham County's Leslie Township.
Police say Wheeldon was taken into custody without any problems. He's being held at the Jackson County Jail. A 62-year-old man driving the vehicle also was expected to face charges.
Police say they found a loaded gun and suspected methamphetamine in the vehicle.
Authorities say Wheeldon ran a theft and drug ring. He stood trial in May and MLive.com reports a Jackson County jury convicted him of nine felonies, including running a criminal enterprise.
