(CNN) A Florida man facing a first-degree murder charge who was inadvertently released from jail in May was arrested in Georgia Wednesday, according to the Broward County Sheriff's Office.

Authorities had been looking for Eric Vail, 28, since May 30.

He was finally tracked to Jesup, Georgia, on Wednesday, where he barricaded himself inside a mobile home for about three hours before being taken into custody, the sheriff's office said in a news release.

He is expected to be extradited back to Florida to face the murder charge, the sheriff's office said.
