Minnesota Fugitive Predatory Offender Arrested In Georgia

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- A fugitive from Minnesota is in custody more than 18 months after a warrant was issued for his arrest.

Bail investigators captured Kenneth Williams, 37, in Georgia by using a social media site to lure him, according to Minnesota Bail Enforcement officers.

Authorities say Williams was a predatory offender in another state but didn't properly register as such in Minnesota when he arrived in the state. A warrant was issued for his arrest on November 25, 2015.

After his capture in Georgia, he was transported to the Washington County Sheriff's Adult Detention Center.

If convicted, authorities say he could face a lengthy prison sentence in Minnesota.
