(CNN) -- Authorities have taken into custody a California man who they believe killed a Roman Catholic priest in a church rectory, the police chief said.
Eureka Police Chief Andy Mills announced Thursday that an arrest warrant had been issued for Gary Lee Bullock, asking for the public's help in tracking down him and a 2010 Nissan hybrid belonging to the slain priest.

Bullock wasn't unknown to local authorities; in fact, he'd been in custody earlier on the same day that Freed was found dead.
Police explained that, on New Year's Eve, Humboldt County sheriff's deputies responded to reports of a person "acting strangely" in Garberville. They went to the scene and arrested Bullock for public intoxication, taking him to a jail where "he was rejected due to his erratic behavior," Eureka police said in a press release.
Bullock -- who last known address is in Redway, California -- was then moved to a nearby hospital "where he became more agitated and had to be physically restrained by deputies," police added. He was eventually booked into a jail shortly after 4:30 p.m. that day, staying there for over 8 hours before his release at 12:43 a.m. on January 1.
