After months of eluding law enforcement, Joshua Robb, the suspect in a Gallatin murder case, has been arrested. Robb had been sought by Gallatin Police since November 18 on second-degree murder charges, as reported by FOX17. The long search culminated on January 6 when authorities, including the Gallatin Police Department (GPD), U.S. Marshals Service, and the Portland Police Department, coordinated efforts leading to Robb's detainment.

Details surrounding the arrest were initially sparse; however, Sumner County Sheriff's Office provided additional information about Robb's charges, which included attempted second-degree homicide, a domestic aggravated assault relating to a violation of a restraining order, and parole violations, as confirmed by WSMV. The tight-knit collaboration with the U.S. Marshals Task Force, and the local Portland Police, allowed for a successful apprehension of Robb, who was then booked into Sumner County Jail and bond set at $260,000.

The Gallatin PD had previously issued warnings considering Robb to be "armed and dangerous," an assertion that undoubtedly heightened the urgency of their search, consequently culminating in the recent capture of the suspect. His array of charges, as documented by the Sheriff's Office, highlights a troubling set of alleged criminal behaviors that extend beyond the initial second-degree murder charge, encompassing parole violations, aggravated assault, and disregarding a protection order, according to WKRN.
