Prince George’s County police arrested the man behind a wild Fairfax County crime spree in Maryland following a car chase Tuesday that spanned multiple counties and jurisdictions of the D.C. area.
Police busted 32-year-old Alton Thodos in District Heights around 1:30 p.m. along Marlboro Pike.
Officers with D.C. police and Fairfax County were also on the scene at the time of Thodos’ arrest.
Authorities have been hunting for Thodos since he evaded arrest Sept. 29 following a barricade situation by climbing into the ceiling of an Alexandria motel and escaping through an attic.

Thodos faces charges of grand larceny, credit card theft, credit card fraud and a probation violation, among others.
He was with a woman in a motel room in the Virginia Lodge Motel on Richmond Highway Sept. 29 when police came with an arrest warrant, a Fairfax County Police Department release said.
Police backed off when he threatened to harm himself, but were able to get into the room when the woman opened the door to get away.
When officers entered, Thodos climbed up through the ceiling and into an attic, police said.
He escaped through another part of the building and got away before police could secure the area.
He later went on a crime spree through Fairfax County.
Ppolice responded to a report the morning of Oct. 4 of a man trying to open car doors in the area of Belle Haven Road and Radcliffe Lane. They found that several cars had been rummaged through, and loose change and small items were missing from them.
A suspect matching Thodos’ description left the area in a 2012 Subaru Outback that was reported stolen in Arlington County.
