LAURENS, SC -- A member of Onondaga County’s 2009 most wanted list has been arrested.

According to the Onondaga County Sheriff’s Office, Marvin Artis, listed as #7 on the county’s Top Ten Most Wanted list for 2009, was arrested over this past weekend in South Carolina. Sheriff’s Investigator Daniel Fahey learned that Artis was living in the Greenville area and forwarded the information to local authorities there. Police say Artis was apprehended without incident at his home in Laurens, South Carolina.

Artis was wanted for second degree criminal possession of a weapon. According to Onondaga County’s original report, he was “in possession of a loaded handgun in his waistband after being involved in a fight on a city street in the early morning hours. Artis is a known drug user and is considered armed and dangerous.”

Police say Artis is being held as a fugitive from justice and is awaiting an extradition hearing before returning to Onondaga County.
