FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) - The U.S. Marshals Service says it has captured in Arizona a convicted child sex trafficker who was wanted by the agency’s office in Pennsylvania for failing to surrender to serve prison time.
The service said Wednesday that 56-year-old Daniel Teed was supposed to show up on Jan. 2 to serve a 10-year federal prison sentence.
Teed was arrested in Flagstaff on Monday evening. He had been convicted in a federal court in Pennsylvania for conspiracy to commit sex trafficking of children and sentenced to 120 months in federal prison.
