On July 21st, the Municipal Court in Columbus, Ohio issued a warrant for Foreman's arrest on a charge of Aggravated Robbery with a firearm.
In the warrant, it states Foreman "brandished" a semi-automatic handgun while allegedly committing the robberies.
On Tuesday, a family member of Foreman's tipped off the U.S. Marshals Service saying he may have been admitted into a detox center in Delray Beach .
Marshals from the West Palm Beach office showed up to the Summit Detox center, found and arrested Foreman.
They tried searching for the infamous Monster energy shirt but they could not find it.
