A man who has been wanted by police since June was arrested last week after an undercover officer spotted him in Atlanta.

Travis Taylor, 35, was added to Atlanta Police Department's "Most Wanted" list in September. He was charged with aggravated assault after he allegedly kicked down the front door at the home of his children's mother and attacked her with a stun gun.

An undercover cop saw someone he thought had an outstanding warrant enter a vehicle on Oct. 18 in southwest Atlanta, according to an arrest report. Officers subsequently conducted a traffic stop.

Taylor told police he knew he had an outstanding warrant, the report said. He was taken to Fulton County jail.
