David Rathof, 41, was arrested at a residence off Creek Road. The Gloucester County Prosecutor’s Office credited tips given to the office after Rathof’s photo appeared in Saturday’s edition of the Times as part of the Wanted in Gloucester County profiles of fugitives with locating the suspect.

Rathof remained Tuesday without bail in the Gloucester County Jail, Woodbury.

He failed to appear for a Feb. 25 sentencing hearing for guilty pleas to possession of heroin in West Deptford Township on Jan. 31, 2010; possession of heroin in Westville on May 1; and burglary of a Delaware Street, West Deptford, residence on Sept. 10.
