Tang was identified as one of three men that held up a HY-VEE store in Omaha on Nov. 5 and took more than $75,000. The other two men had already been captured, but Tang remained at large.
The Marshal's Office Task Force learned that Tang was hiding in the Crescent City area and Putnam County deputies helped track him down.
They found Tang on County Road 308, hiding in a shed that had been converted into a detached apartment. Tang was taken into custody without incident and booked into the Putnam County Jail.
He is being held without benefit of bond awaiting extradition to Nebraska.
