HAGERSTOWN - A man wanted by the Washington County Sheriff's Department in a May 2 robbery and carjacking in Williamsport was apprehended at about 7 p.m. Saturday in Strasburg, Va., deputies said.
Jamie Parker Barnes, 41, was being held Monday afternoon at the Shenandoah County (Va.) jail, a spokesman there said. Barnes waived extradition to Maryland, Sgt. Roy Harsh said.
Barnes was captured after a two-week search through several states.

On Wednesday, the Washington County Sheriff's Department received a tip that Jessica Barnes made a telephone call from the Strasburg Ramada Inn, deputies said. Based on information she gave police during an interview, officers from the Strasburg and Winchester (Va.) police departments and the Washington County Sheriff's Department searched the Strasburg area for Jamie Barnes, deputies said.
He was arrested Saturday after he went to the Ramada Inn, deputies said.
