"Our nightmare is finally over and the good guys won," Chester County District Attorney Deb Ryan told reporters.
For two weeks America held its breath as fugitive Brazilian murderer Danelo Cavalcante dodged drones, helicopters and law enforcement from the FBI to Border Patrol, only to be cornered Wednesday by a police dog which subdued him with just a "minor bite wound."

Blood streaming down his face and clad in a Philadelphia Eagles sweatshirt that he had apparently stolen during his days on the run, the diminutive Cavalcante was surrounded by dozens of officers clad in military-style gear in images shown on US television.
Pennsylvania state police revealed the details of his arrest at a press conference after he was dramatically caught in thick underbrush by the K9 unit in rural Pennsylvania, where he had spent days dodging law enforcement.
