Eventually, Langston was found at a hotel in DeKalb County, where CCSO said he was “enjoying his holiday” until the Fugitive Squad surrounded his room “and gas was deployed.”
As officers went in, “Langston quickly realized he wanted no more parts of the Fugitive Squad. Wisely, he put his hands up and walked out of the room without further incident,” according to the sheriff’s office.
Deputies say they found a loaded gun in the room. Langston was taken into custody.
Langston was booked at the Clayton County Jail, according to the sheriff’s office.
