Milford Police Locate Man Wanted on Rape & Murder Charges

On December 2, 2016, at approximately 1:00pm Milford Police took custody of Herbert Arnold (W/M, 72) 308 Orchard St, Vestel, NY, in regards to an active warrant for his arrest.

Arnold was wanted on a full extradition warrant by the Broome County, New York, Sheriff’s Office for failure to register as a sex offender. In the early 1990’s Arnold was convicted for the rape and murder of a 16 year old victim.

While reading a Connecticut Law Enforcement information sharing website, Milford Officers learned Arnold was believed to be in Connecticut and possibly staying in Milford. The website described Arnold’s vehicle, which was then located in Milford by an officer while on patrol.

Arnold was taken to Milford Court on Monday, December 5, 2016, for an extradition hearing to be brought back to New York.
