Mori Farrell Jr has been arrested in connection with a fatal stabbing in Orange County on Saturday.

Authorities located Farrell at a hotel in Burlington at approximately 4:30 Monday afternoon, according to a release.

Farrell had been wanted in connection with the stabbing death of 50-year-old Anthony Latta early Saturday morning in Cedar Grove. Authorities had been looking for Farrell since obtaining a warrant for first-degree murder over the weekend.

Officials said earlier Monday that other local, state and federal agencies had been called in to assist in the search for and apprehension of Farrell.

Orange County Sheriff Charles Blackwood thanked the other agencies who assisted Orange County authorities in a release announcing Farrell’s arrest.

“The teamwork of the Orange County Sheriff’s Investigation and Patrol Divisions is exemplary. I’m especially proud of the collaboration between our neighboring law enforcement partners, the special agents with the State Bureau of Investigation, and the United States Marshals Service. The assistance of these dedicated individuals was instrumental in the apprehension of Mr. Farrell.”

Farrell is being held without bond in the Orange County Detention Center and is scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday afternoon.
