Rollins was arrested at 12:40 this afternoon, almost 24 hours after District Attorney George Gascón held a press conference announcing that Rollins was at large.

Washington pleaded not guilty today to all seven felony counts of grand theft, and 16 felony counts of violating state laws regarding "pre-need" funeral arrangements.
