Jeroid Price taken into custody in New York

COLUMBIA, S.C. (WOLO) –Jeroid Price was arrested by FBI agents in New York this morning after a months-long search by authorities.

The arrest came after a tip that came into South Carolina law enforcement, say officials.

He was released from prison in March, but the S.C. Supreme Court overturned the order reducing his sentence in April.

He will be taken to Kirkland Reception and Evaluation Center in Columbia.
