A wanted fugitive has been arrested by Massachusetts Police despite him wearing an elaborate disguise as an 'elderly man'.
Shaun 'Shizz' Miller, 31, had been on the run since April after being charged with possession of heroin with intent to distribute.
Police surrounded a house in South Yarmouth, Cape Cod, and ordered him to come out.
He walked outside in the disguise but police quickly saw through the attempted deception and arrested him, the US Justice Department said.
When South Yarmouth police raided his home, they found two loaded firearms hidden in a laundry basket and nearly $30,000 (£22,900) in cash.
He was charged alongside 11 others as part of larger complaint into a major Cape Cod drug trafficking ring known as the Nauti-Block gang.
The gang has been linked to a murder, a large number of assault charges, along with alleged drug smuggling and dealing.
