LEXINGTON, Ky. (LEX 18) — Lexington police assisted the U.S. Marshals Office with the arrest of an out-of-state murder suspect.

Lexington police say federal officers were attempting to serve a murder warrant and take an individual into custody at a home on Sugarcreek Drive. 37-year-old Rudy McPhaul's arrest citation confirms he was the one who was arrested.

According to police, the Lexington Emergency Response Unit was dispatched, and just before 3:00 p.m. Tuesday, McPhaul was taken into custody without incident by the US Marshal's Office. He has been charged by Lexington authorities for being a fugitive from another state.

The citation says McPhaul was served a warrant and is charged with a homicide in Michigan.
