A fugitive from Ohio has been arrested in Swansea.

Massachusetts State Police say that 47-year-old Richard Holivay was taken into custody Thursday morning by troopers on I-195.

Holivay was facing domestic assault and narcotics charges when he fled Ohio and a warrant for his arrest was issued out of Cuyahoga County, Ohio, last October.

After receiving information State Police Detective Unit for Bristol County, the State Police Violent Fugitive Apprehension Section, and the State Police Barracks in Dartmouth stopped a vehicle Holivay was in and took him into custody without incident.

State Police say arrangements for his rendition to Ohio will be undertaken by the Bristol County District Attorney's Office.
