Man on Atlanta’s ‘Most Wanted’ list arrested in College Park

The FBI arrested a man Thursday morning who was on Atlanta's "Most Wanted" list following an alleged armed carjacking last year.

Rufus Hurst, 25, was taken into custody by the Atlanta Metro Major Offender task force at a home in College Park, the FBI said in a statement.

He was wanted in connection with an incident Feb. 11, 2017, where authorities allege he pointed a gun at someone on Joseph E. Lowery Boulevard in northwest Atlanta and took their Nissan Maxima.

Hurst was taken to the Fulton County Jail.
