A man wanted for murder in Florida arrested in Atlanta
FROSTPROOF, Fla. - A man accused of killing one woman and sexually battering and abducting another in Florida earlier this month has been arrested in Atlanta.
News outlets quote authorities as saying 30-year-old Taiwan Blandin of Frostproof, Florida, was captured Saturday after fleeing from Atlanta police and crashing a stolen car.
Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd says Blandin sexually battered and kidnapped an 18-year-old woman there Oct. 1. Judd says Blandin drove the teen that day to a mobile home and went inside, giving her time to escape in Blandin's car. Judd says Blandin followed the woman and shot at her, wounding her 81-year-old neighbor before leaving. Deputies who returned to the mobile home found an older woman fatally shot.
Blandin is being held in Atlanta. It's unknown if he has an attorney.
