Michael McGregor was arrested without incident about 1 a.m. Friday in the Lake County city, said Police Chief James Richardson. He was being held at the Lake County Jail.
Officers initially arrested McGregor on Thursday after a standoff at this home as they were attempted to arrest him on a warrant stemming from felony drug and weapons, The Times of Northwest Indiana reported.
But he escaped later Thursday from the Methodist Hospitals Southlake Campus, where he had been taken for a medical issue. A manhunt by several police agencies followed.
Richardson said that new charges were pending Friday against McGregor.
