CLEVELAND — A fugitive task force in northern Ohio has arrested a man wanted in the slaying of his wife in Georgia.

U.S. Marshal Pete Elliott announced Friday afternoon that members of the multi-agency Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force arrested 39-year-old Wisdom Jeffery about 6 a.m. at a Cleveland house.

Jeffery had been shown numerous times on the TV show "America's Most Wanted."

He was wanted on an August 2010 murder warrant out of Riverdale, Ga., in the shooting death of his wife, 21-year-old Corrissa Friends. Authorities say Jeffery fled the area after her death.

He has been locked up in the county jail in Cleveland to await extradition to Georgia.

No attorney for Jeffery could be found in court records.
