A fugitive wanted for an Ohio murder was arrested at a Kennesaw motel Thursday night, authorities said.

Cherokee County sheriff’s Sgt. Jay Baker said investigators with the Cherokee Multi-Agency Narcotics Squad arrested an unnamed suspect in Woodstock for selling Ecstasy, and that arrest led to a search of a hotel room on Barrett Parkway in Kennesaw.

During the search, investigators seized 179 Ecstasy pills and arrested Reginald Griffin, 29, of Kennesaw, Baker said.

He said Griffin initially gave investigators a false name, but after determining his real name, they learned he was wanted for murder in Ohio.

According to a September report on WCPO-TV in Cincinnati, Griffin was charged with shooting and killing a man outside a Cincinnati bar in August.

Griffin is being held without bond in the Cobb County Adult Detention Center.
