UPDATE Wednesday:
Billings police said Wednesday morning in a social media post that they now have the man wanted out of Idaho in custody.
Law enforcement in Idaho was asking for the public's help in finding Mark Slye, who was wanted on a $1 million warrant and last seen in Billings.
According to Billings police, they received a call around 6 p.m. Tuesday from an employee at a Billings hotel, identifying Slye.
Learn how police made the arrest:
“Without providing too much information, she was an employee at the place. She recognized him from the social media post, and I believe, you know, with the name and everything, she contacted her husband. She wasn't working at the time. He's the one that actually called into dispatch," said Billings detective Shane Hernandez.
Hernandez said officers made the arrest at the hotel approximately 45 minutes later.
Slye is in the Yellowstone County Detention Facility, awaiting extradition.
