(ALBANY)---For the second time on the same day, Livingston Parish deputies took into custody a fugitive wanted in another parish, as a man charged with murder in New Orleans was arrested in Albany, according to the Livingston Parish Sheriff's Office.

Livingston Parish Sheriff's Dep. Perry Rushing reports that 31-year-old Mark Anthony Ott, no address available, has been booked as a fugitive from both New Orleans and Hammond. He says that Ott was wanted in New Orleans as a suspect in a murder case and in Hammond for outstanding traffic violations.

The arrest occurred in the evening hours of Tuesday, July 22, along Sherwood Lane in Albany. Dep. Rushing says that agents with the Tri-Parish Narcotics Task Force and LPSO Special Response Team deputies responded to a tip that Ott could be found at a location in the 37400 block of Sherwood Lane.

Dep. Rushing says that after deputies surrounded the location, Ott was taken into custody without incident.

Earlier in the day, LPSO deputies joined with Tangipahoa Parish deputies and officers with the Hammond Police Department in capturing an escaped rape suspect from Catahoula Parish, also found in the Albany area.
