The Virginia Department of Corrections announced on Wednesday that Naseem Roulack, 21, was arrested at around 9 a.m. by members of the Fairfax County Police Department and the US Marshals Service.
Officials say that the bust was reported at a hotel in the 6700 block of Commerce Street in Springfield.
Roulack was wanted in connection to an armed carjacking in Montgomery County on Friday, Spet. 1, after he escaped from the Virginia Department of Corrections in August, where he was serving a 13-year sentence for aggravated malicious assault, grand larceny, and a hit-and-run.
Police say that shortly after midnight on Friday, Sept. 1, officers were called to the 400 block of West Deer Park Road in Gaithersburg, where there was a reported armed carjacking involving a woman who was accosted by a man brandishing a black handgun, demanding her Nissan Sentra.
According to the department, detectives identified Roulack as the suspect and it was later determined that he was an escapee who was on the lam.
On Wednesday, Oct. 25, officials announced that Roulack was back behind bars, though the investigation remains active and ongoing.
"I want to thank the U.S. Marshals Service, Virginia State Police, Fairfax County Police Department and other local, state and federal law enforcement partners for their tireless efforts assisting the VADOC’s Investigators and Officers in the effort to recapture this inmate," Virginia Department of Corrections Director Chadwick Dotson said in a statement following his capture.
