By Drew Sandholm

A seventh fugitive has been caught after targeted by Action News' Wheel of Justice.

Authorities arrested 30-year-old Justin Erfman late Thursday afternoon. He was wanted by the Yankton County Sheriff's Office for violating terms of his parole.

According to Minnehaha County Sheriff's Sgt. Jason Gearman, the Sioux Falls Area Joint Fugitive Task Force found him at a Sioux Falls address provided by a Crime Stoppers tip. When they made the arrest, Erfman told officers he saw himself on TV.

"It worked out really well," said Yankton County Sheriff David Hunhoff. "We have a good working relationship with different agencies around here and the public's assistance is what makes it work and that's where your program comes in."

Join area law enforcement officers to spin the Wheel of Justice every Friday on Action News Live At 10:00. The Wheel will land on a suspect wanted in connection with crimes in our community. Your tips could help officers put these fugitives behind bars.
