A man accused of stabbing his 27-year-old roommate multiple times in Hyde Park was arrested Monday in Dallas, Texas, officials said.

Ross Jacobs, 27, was booked about 12:45 p.m. at Dallas County Jail, according to jail records. He was denied bail for an attempted murder charge and was awaiting extradition as of Wednesday morning, according to jail records and Chicago Police.
