The Fulton County Sheriff’s Office says deputies got a tip from police in McKinney, Texas, that 42-year-old Nathan Cataldi was traveling through the city on a Greyhound bus headed to Mississippi.

Investigators say they quickly put together a plan and went to the Greyhound station, where they found Cataldi and took him into custody before he could continue his trip.

Cataldi is wanted on two charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon tied to a family violence case in Texas.
