Police said a caller told investigators where to look and Spence showed up on Garden Street in Hartford's North End.

"He's a very dangerous individual. He had seven warrants ranging from possession of drugs, operating a drug factory, weapons charges, theft of a weapon, numerous warrants. He's been on the run for while," Sansom said. "He's told people that he's going to shoot at police if confronted by police."

Sansom said featuring Spence on the Fugitive Files on Eyewitness News made the community aware of a dangerous person, and by offering an anonymous tip line, gave the people a way to help the police.

"It was great, it was excellent; It got the word out, it created a stir with people," he said. "We got many tips within the last month or two since you aired that."
