MIAMI (AP) -- Officials in Miami have indicted a Utah man once considered one of the country's most wanted environmental crime fugitives.
According to a news release, Larkin Baggett was charged with assaulting law enforcement officers and illegally possessing eight firearms while he was a fugitive from the District of Utah on an environmental crimes prosecution.
The charges stem from a March shooting in which Baggett, formerly of Salt Lake City, was wounded. He was shot after pointing a loaded rifle at officers in the Florida Keys.
Baggett had been charged in federal court in Utah with violations of federal hazardous waste and clean water laws. He was one of 23 people included on the Environmental Protection Agency's new Web-based list of fugitives.
It wasn't clear if he had an attorney.
