Police arrest fugitive after anonymous tip

SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- South Bend Police have arrested a fugitive who was located after police received an anonymous tip about his whereabouts.

Following negotiations, Benway surrendered and was taken into custody without incident.

Benway was wanted in St. Joseph County for domestic battery and in Elkhart County for auto theft, police said.
