A man sought for more than three weeks after he allegedly led deputy sheriff's on a high-speed chase in a stolen van was captured Friday on the shores of Lake George after a deputy fired three shots at him.

Michael G. Mantice, 32, of Lake Luzerne, was arrested just before 4 p.m. on Fish Point after Warren County sheriff's deputies were notified that he was in the attic of a house.

As deputies responded to that call, other residents of the area reported Mantice was armed with a rifle and had run from the house. Deputies set up a perimeter and called for their police dog, "Sabre," to join in the search.
