Cary police were alerted by the N.C. Highway Patrol that the four men were believed to be in the area of the hotel. When officers arrived, they were able to capture the three men without incident, according to Cary police.
Authorities believe Lawrence L. Ree III accompanied the three men to North Carolina but was able to flee from officers when the others were arrested.
“Investigators have worked continuously throughout the day and night since the incident occurred to follow up on tips and develop information which has led to the captures,” Champlin said.
Cary police are asking residents to be on alert for Lee.
Lee, 29, is 5 feet, 9 inches tall and weighs about 187 pounds. He has brown hair and brown eyes. He was being held on charges of felony identity fraud, misdemeanor obstructing official business and misdemeanor assault.
