The Ohio man who angrily confronted NBC News' Shaquille Brewster on live television was arrested in Dayton on Thursday, authorities said.
Benjamin Eugene Dagley, 54, was picked up at a shopping plaza in the southwest Ohio city, U.S. Marshal Pete Elliott said in a statement.
Dagley is wanted in Gulfport, Mississippi, where he'll be charged with two counts of assault, one count of disturbance of the peace and one count of violation of emergency curfew, officials said.
