STALLINGS, N.C.—Authorities say a Russian man wanted in a North Carolina murder case faces an extradition hearing on Monday in Colorado.
Stallings (STAY-lings) police chief Larke Plyler said 32-year-old Bogdan Rudenko of Charlotte, N.C., was arrested Friday as a fugitive from justice at a Colorado Springs, Colo. hotel.
Plyler said there is a murder warrant for Rudenko in connection with the Dec. 20 killing of a Russian man whose body was found behind an auto body shop in Stallings. Plyler was unsure if Rudenko had an attorney.
Police couldn’t confirm whether Rudenko is the minor league hockey player of the same name and age who last played for the defunct Twin City Cyclones in Winston-Salem, N.C. in the 2008-9 season.
