- On September 28, the U.S. Marshals Service arrested 41-year-old Zealand Adams in Kent, Washington, and Ramiro Vasquez in Chico, California, for an alleged September 3 home invasion robbery in Alabama.
- Auburn Police Department investigators used automated license plate readers to identify the suspects' rental vehicle and track their movement out of Alabama after they allegedly posed as law enforcement and held victims at gunpoint.
- Adams has a prior criminal record, including a 2014 incident in Utah where he held a 2-year-old hostage during a standoff and subsequent convictions for manslaughter in Louisiana.
- As of September 30, Adams remains held at the Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent with bail set at $250,000, while both men await extradition to Alabama.
