Chucky-Masked Philadelphia Suspect Arrested in Las Vegas

Police say the threats began at 15th and Chestnut streets in Center City, with a masked man running up to people to scare and antagonize them.

Police say he walked into a Dunkin' on the 1500 block of Chestnut Street and was refused service for wearing the mask.

Police say he was captured on camera running at people at the southwest corner of Penn Square by City Hall, chased a man on the west side of 15th Street, then stopped in front of a woman jogging at 15th and Market and asked her, "Are you ready to die?" The woman ran and injured her leg. Philadelphia police said the suspect appeared to be filming the encounters on a cellphone with its light on. He then fled to Suburban Station.

Authorities said he rode a bus to an apartment near 23rd and Venango streets, later left with packed bags, and investigators suspected he was headed for Los Angeles or Las Vegas, where he was believed to have connections through an employer.

Marshals say Hughes flew out of Trenton-Mercer Airport in Ewing, New Jersey, to Orlando, Florida, and then on to Las Vegas.

Arrested in Las Vegas by the Marshals' Eastern Pennsylvania Violent Crime Fugitive Task Force and the USMS Nevada Violent Offender Task Force.
