A man wanted by state and local authorities over claims he invaded a Massachusetts home while armed with a gun was found in an unlikely spot Wednesday: inside a rolled-up rug on top of a building, according to police.
Personnel from the Massachusetts State Police Violent Fugitive Apprehension Section began working with officers in Northborough to located the suspect in the armed home invasion reported on Green Street in the town shortly after 2 a.m. Wednesday, authorities said.
The attack was not random. The suspect, who has since been identified as 26-year-old Tyler Rawson, is known to the victim, the Northborough Police Department noted in a tweet early Wednesday.
