McGlothan was arrested in June 2015, after leading authorities on a nationwide search which ended in less than a month.
He was found and arrested near a highway toll booth on the New York State Thruway in western New York, according to a statement from the New York Police Department’s Buffalo office.
McGlothan is identified as the main suspect in the case, along with two accomplices also sought for questioning.
