CAIRO, MO. -- An out of state fugitive, who had eluded area law enforcement on two occasions, is now in custody.

Christopher Holcomb, 30, a fugitive wanted in the states of Louisiana and Georgia, was taken into custody following a search, after he was spotted in Randolph County. 

Highway patrol officials say Holcomb was arrested while hiding in a brush pile in a cornfield near Cairo Missouri, about 2:15 Tuesday afternoon. 

Highway Patrol aircraft and helicopters were utilized again Tuesday in the search before the suspect was taken into custody.  Holcomb is wanted for a Louisiana probation and parole warrant, and another warrant issued by Georgia for drugs and assault.
