PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) - Rhode Island State Police have arrested a man accused of double murder in the Dominican Republic.

Juan Carlos Zapata-Lara was taken into custody in July.

The 29-year-old was arrested after officials learned he illegally entered the United States and was living in Providence under a different name.

When police found him, he was in possession of 45 grams of heroin.

He's being held without bond at the ACI.
