After a two-year manhunt, federal officials arrested 50-year-old Darrick Bell at an Econo Lodge motel near Detroit yesterday.
Bell was on the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s ‘Most Wanted’ list.
He is a US citizen and an alleged human trafficking ring leader.
Officers also found nearly $12,000 in cash and what they believed to be cocaine inside Bell’s room.
Authorities say Bell and his conspirators used drugs to coerce human trafficking victims into performing commercial sex work.
He was almost arrested during a massive raid at another Detroit motel 2 1/2 years ago but he escaped capture.
Officials are still looking for the people who helped him escape.
