A 51-year-old wanted sex offender, who had been living off-grid in a Louisiana swamp for an undisclosed period, was arrested in Baton Rouge, LA, following a coordinated effort by the U.S. Marshals Service and the U.S. Probation and Parole Office in the Middle District of Louisiana. The fugitive, previously caught with child pornography and facing felony sexual assault charges, had been surviving in a makeshift shelter constructed from tree limbs and tarps, subsisting on small game and rodents he hunted with a makeshift spear. This arrest came after the U.S. Probation and Parole Office requested the assistance of the U.S. Marshals Service on February 8.
