Deputies with the Cecil County, MD Sheriff's Office stumbled upon a fugitive while providing security during a landlord's eviction of a tenant. Apparently, the tenant had allowed the fugitive to live there.

After receiving a tip from federal agents, investigators with the Cecil County Sheriff's Office captured Henry Joseph Harper Holder, 34. Holder is an alleged drug dealer wanted by the U.S. Marshals Office. Holder is wanted in Newport News, Va., where he is facing numerous drug charges, including manufacturing controlled dangerous substances and possession of morphine.

The events leading to Holder's capture started on Thursday morning when deputies provided security in the 100 block of Willow Drive for a scheduled eviction. "This is something we do when there is a scheduled eviction. It's to prevent anyone from interfering while the landlord is removing (the tenant's) property."

After the eviction, an agent with the U.S. Marshals Office called sheriff's investigators and reported that Holder had been living at the home where the eviction had taken place, police said. The agent, who provided other tips, too, asked investigators to arrest Holder, police added.
