The Chucky mask-wearing sicko who terrorized Philadelphia citizens, including a female jogger, was captured by US Marshals in Las Vegas following a two-week-long search for the suspect.

An arrest warrant was issued in Philadelphia after a masked man chased a jogger there and said, “Are you ready to die?” Authorities say he wanted to boost his social media views.

U.S. Marshals say 22-year-old Zymire Hughes was arrested Tuesday night in Las Vegas, Nevada.
