SALEM, Ore. (AP) — Marion County authorities say a sex offender on the run since cutting off his GPS ankle bracelet last month was captured Wednesday near Blackfoot, Idaho.
According to the sheriff’s office, 64-year-old William Althouse was arrested without incident after deputies in Idaho found him sleeping at a campsite.
The Salem man reportedly said he was tired of being monitored and having his parole officer know his every move.
Althouse has been on post-prison supervision since 2006. He has a history of exposing himself and sexually abusing children.
