Investigators said he moved between locations to avoid arrest and spent five days hiding at a southeast Las Vegas apartment complex.

Task force officers ultimately located Hughes through surveillance footage from the complex, according to the report.

Hughes allegedly questioned the arrest and resisted officers before deputies subdued him.

"Nothing was recovered upon arrest, and he did not make any statements about his motive," the U.S.

Marshals office told Fox News.

Philadelphia police had been searching for Hughes in connection with a series of confrontations near City Hall in the early morning hours of Aug.
