A fugitive from the United States who evaded police for 20 years has finally been caught in Creston, B.C.

On July 13, the local RCMP received a tip that 78-year-old Louis Flood was in the area.

In 1997, Flood was convicted in Idaho for lewd conduct with a child under 16 and sex abuse of a child under 16.

In 2001, he went missing while out on parole in Ada County after serving three years of his 18-year sentence. He featured on America香蕉视频直播檚 Most Wanted in 2011.

After receiving the tip on Flood香蕉视频直播檚 whereabouts, Const. Dave Bickle from the Creston RCMP contacted the United States Marshall Service, Idaho State Corrections, and Idaho State Police.

Bickle was quickly provided with Flood香蕉视频直播檚 criminal records, a photo to confirm his identity, and an arrest warrant.

He then worked with Canada Border Services to have a removal warrant issued. On Monday, Flood was sent back to the US, where he will serve the remaining 13 years of his sentence in prison.
