Authorities say a "dangerous" man wanted for multiple felonies in Carroll County has been arrested after a months-long search.

The Carroll County Sheriff’s Office posted a photo of Andrew "Andy" Floyd Acklin being taken into custody on its Facebook page on Thursday.

Acklins ran from officers during a chase on Sept. 25. Law enforcement flooded the area of the 3800 block of NE Hickory Level Road, but were not able to find him.

On Thursday, the U.S. Marshals Service, Carroll County Property Unit, and the ACE Unit were able to apprehend him.

He was booked into the Carroll County Jail.

He was charged with aggravated assault, battery, reckless driving, aggravated driving, fleeing or attempting to elude a police officer for a felony offense, felony theft by taking, and probation violation.
