KENOSHA, Wis. (AP) - Bail has been set at $250,000 for a Kenosha County homicide suspect who eluded capture for nearly two weeks until his arrest in Illinois.

Sheriff’s deputies caught up with Andrew Obregon on Tuesday in a wooded residential area of Winthrop Harbor, Illinois, with the help of multiple police dogs.

Authorities say the 32-year-old Obregon is a suspect in last month’s killing of 37-year-old Tywon Anderson and is wanted for several robberies and auto thefts. He’s also suspected of beating a woman who found him in her father’s vacant house in Kenosha County.



WISC-TV reports (https://bit.ly/1NKmCzC ) that Obergon appeared in court Thursday in Lake County, Illinois. He’ll face extradition to Wisconsin Nov. 3.

Authorities say he faces charges in both states after leading deputies on a chase across the Wisconsin-Illinois border.
