A fugitive from Rhode Island who has been on the run for about 20 years and was featured on “America’s Most Wanted” is captured by U.S. Marshals off the coast of New York, according to reports. Both outlets say federal agents take the man into custody aboard a sailboat in the New York area.

Details about the specific charges or identity of the man are not included in the excerpts provided. The reports characterize the operation as part of federal efforts to locate and arrest people wanted for alleged crimes, using leads tied to the “America’s Most Wanted” feature and subsequent investigation. The arrest is described as occurring at sea, with marshals coordinating the capture after decades on the run.
