The Chucky mask-wearing sicko who is accused of terrorizing Philadelphia citizens, including a female jogger, was captured in Las Vegas following a two-week-long manhunt.

Zymire Hughes, 22, was found hiding out in an apartment complex in the southeast section of Sin City around 8 p.m. on Tuesday by members of the US Marshals Violent Offender Fugitive Task Force, officials announced.

Hughes was arrested on an out-of-state warrant for the alleged aggravated assault of a 40-year-old woman on Aug. 12, officials announced.

“Tonight the fear that one man brought to the Philadelphia community comes to an end,” US Marshals Service Supervisory Deputy Robert Clark told reporters, according to NBC Philadelphia.

“By hiding behind a Chucky-style Halloween mask, Hughes terrorized Philadelphia residents and believed he could evade law enforcement. He was wrong,” Clark said.

Hughes is being held at the Clark County Detention Center, where he will remain before being extradited to Pennsylvania.

A nationwide search was launched for the menacing fugitive who disguised himself as the infamous movie villain and threatened at least six people in the span of 15 minutes near Philadelphia City Hall on Aug. 12.

Hughes first walked into a Dunkin shop at around 5:20 a.m. where a worker refused him service because he was acting “erratic.”

Terrorist hiding his face. It seems to be the choice for many terrorists.

How can others beat soneone to a pulp, shoot someone, threaten people politically and not be tracked down this quickly? He HAD to have scared the wife or girlfriend of a high level government official or law enforcement officer. Probably used Flock cameras to track him down.

In the army a guy was walking down the hall in a mask of a scary looking big and scarred head, and while terrifying, it actually looked authentically like a big scary human, so I borrowed it.

When I knocked on my front door with the big gross head on my pretty large body, and my teen new wife answered, I was so distraught and shocked at the true terror that I saw in her eyes that I compounded the mistake by forcefully reaching for her through the partly opened door to console her, it was really a bad scene.

This one was brutal, I have always felt terrible about it, the reaching for her as she was trying to slam the door was an ill-time impulse.

Based on those photos, a Philadelphia lawyer might argue that the defendant wears the Chuckie mask to look LESS scary.

One of our local tv stations hired a “news reporter” with dreadlocks longer than that. He reports on the news ok, but he looks extremely UNprofessional.

I guess dress codes for on-air reporters are going out the window, as well as any serious news coverage.
