Following up on a lead, police apprehended a man staying at a Motel 6 in Seekonk, MA, according to reports from East Bay Newspapers.

His girlfriend and a three-year-old child were living in the room with him, reads the article. Police believe his beard was a disguise to conceal his identity as they found a fake among his belongings.
