Posted: Wed 12:57 PM, Mar 26, 2008
CLEVELAND, Tenn. (AP) -- A Tennessee martial arts teacher has been captured in Nevada after police said he fled from an arrest warrant for failing to register as a sexual offender.
Authorities say Edsel Ahern Griffin was taken into custody by U.S. Marshals in Las Vegas on March 20. He is scheduled to appear in court Thursday.
The 65-year-old is a registered sex offender in Florida after being convicted in 1997 of two counts of sexual battery/coercion of a child by an adult.
Griffin, whose martial arts facility was featured in the Cleveland Daily Banner, was charged with failure to register in Tennessee. But before arrest warrant was served, police said he and his wife closed their business and abandoned their home.
Griffin is also wanted by Florida authorities on probation violations.
