Man who wounded Va. cop caught in Texas

NEW BOSTON, Texas — A Southwest Virginia man wanted on charges that he shot and wounded a Virginia State Police trooper was arrested Sunday, ending an intense 10-day manhunt.

"This is the safe resolution that we were hoping for," Col. W. Steven Flaherty, superintendent of the Virginia State Police, said. "By increasing police presence in the Floyd County area, we were able to force Branscome out into the open."
