DOVER, Del. (AP) - A man wanted on gun charges has been arrested after police say he was found hiding in the attic of a home in Dover.

Dover police say 32-year-old Johan Rodriguez was arrested Monday.

Master Cpl. Mark Hoffman says authorities arrived at the home around 5 p.m. after a tip alerting them to Rodriguez’s whereabouts.

During a search, officials say they were able to find Rodriguez in the attic of the home. He was taken into custody without incident.

Rodriguez faces several charges including possession of a firearm by a prohibited person, reckless endangering, possession of ammunition by prohibited person, possession of a controlled substance and violation of probation.

He is being held on bond. It isn’t immediately clear whether Rodriguez has an attorney.
