An international fugitive from the United Kingdom has been arrested in Ozark, Missouri.

Police said they found Eddie Maher in Ozark, south of Springfield, living with a wife and two sons.

He's a suspect in a 1993 bank robbery in the UK where $1.5 million were taken.

His 20 years on the run ended after Ozark police were tipped off, and then forwarded that tip to the FBI.

Neighbors said he worked for a cable company and kept to himself.
