A Christiansburg man wanted in a Nov. 9 hit-and-run is in custody, but it took some work from officers in the early-morning hours on Tuesday.
Brandon Lee Pigg, 30, holed up at a residence in the 400 block of College Avenue for several hours after Virginia State Police and Christiansburg Police made a positive ID.
Pigg was wanted for questioning in the hit-and-run on Interstate 81 southbound at the 132 mile marker in Montgomery County, and for a felony hit-and-run on Nov. 14 in Jacksonville, N.C., involving a head-on crash with a police officer.
As officers arrived at the residence on College Avenue, Pigg was positively identified through a window in the residence from past encounters with local police.
Police then needed to obtain a search warrant and fugitive warrant, which was granted at 4:30 a.m.
Upon serving the warrants, a female at the residence said Pigg was not in the residence, but he was found hiding in a back bedroom, and taken into custody without incident.
