A Maplewood man was arrested in Ramsey County on an Arizona warrant that charges him with second-degree murder, according to a fugitive complaint filed in Ramsey County District Court.
Maurice Terrell Pratt, 25, was arrested Oct. 27 on the warrant, which a Maricopa County, Arizona, judge issued Oct. 2, the complaint says. The Arizona charge is listed as second-degree murder, domestic violence.
In Minnesota, Pratt is charged with being a fugitive from justice from another state. The complaint was filed Oct. 30. It says he was being held on the Arizona warrant only and that Maricopa County has confirmed it will extradite him.
