A wanted man was arrested by federal authorities and Bucks County Sheriff’s Office deputies.
Rob Clark, a supervisory deputy U.S. Marshal, said Steven Nelms, 48, was arrested by the Eastern Pennsylvania Violent Crime Fugitive Task Force and the Bucks County Sheriff Office’s warrant unit around 7:30 a.m. in the 9100 block of New Falls Road in Falls Township.

Nelms was wanted for warrants related to cases from Falls Township and Lower Southampton, Clark said.
Nelms was taken into custody and transported to the Bucks County Justice Center in Doylestown. He came before a judge for bench warrant hearings in the afternoon for an aggravated assault case out of Lower Southampton, a criminal trespassing case from Middletown, and a ongoing aggravated assault case connected to an August 2018 incident in Falls Township, according to court records.
Nelms appears to also have run into problems with alleged violations of his probation.
