(Moorhead, MN) -- A man who has eluded law enforcement for months has finally been brought into custody.
Clay County Sheriff Mark Empting confirming that members from the High Plains Fugitive Task Force observed 41-year-old Burton Bonham walking and approached him Monday around 12:37 p.m. Authorities then say he refused to listen to commands and fled on foot to a nearby residence in the 2500 block of 6th Avenue North in Moorhead. The subject is also known to have cautions for carrying firearms.

Bonham is currently being held at the Clay County Correctional Center for his six outstanding felony level warrants as well as Obstructing the LegalProcess.
