A 28-year-old man was arrested in Charlottesville, Virginia after the body of a man was discovered in a storage unit in Milford last week, prosecutors said Wednesday.

Christopher Tetreault was apprehended without incident by Massachusetts and Virginia state police and charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, according to the Worcester County District Attorney’s office.

The charges stem from the homicide of 54-year-old Paul Weaver, of Milford, whose body was found in his storage locker at 15 Beach St. on Aug. 17, officials said in a statement.

An autopsy performed by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner determined Weaver died of “multiple stab wounds,” prosecutors said. The death was ruled a homicide.

He was slated to appear in court in Virginia on a fugitive from justice charge on Thursday.
