WESTBROOK – A Massachusetts man police say stabbed a Westbrook man to death last year is still waiting for transfer to Maine, after getting arrested last week by U.S. Marshals in New York State.

Marshals arrested Tareek Hendricks, 31, formerly of Worcester, Mass., in Syracuse, N.Y., on the morning of July 11. Joe Ciciarelli, a supervisor with the marshals’ Syracuse office, said investigators tracked Hendricks, who goes by the street name “B.K.,” to a small apartment above a business at 1012 Park St.

“We’ve been working this now for about three weeks,” Ciciarelli said on the day of the arrest.

Ciciarelli said Hendricks was not armed, and offered no resistance. He was arrested on a fugitive from justice warrant. Maine Public Safety spokesman Steve McCausland said this week that authorities in Maine and New York are still working out the details of Hendricks’ extradition to Maine to face murder charges here.

Police said Hendricks stabbed Robert Stubbs, 40, at his 73 Central St. home in Westbrook on April 21, 2011, at around 10:30 p.m. Stubbs died of multiple stab wounds, and his wife, Melissa Stubbs, 27, was wounded in the attack.

The day after the incident, neighbors said they heard what sounded like an argument and struggle prior to the stabbing.
