WOODSTOCK, Ont. - A man described by police in Florida as a violent sexual predator and wanted by authorities in that state has been arrested early Monday by police in Woodstock, Ontario.
Police say the man, who has not been identified, is wanted by the Duval County Sheriffs Department in Jacksonville because he left Florida and failed to register his new address.
Police in Woodstock say they were tipped by a citizen who walked into police headquarters Sunday and told them he met the man during a social event and became suspicious.
The citizen made an online check of a Florida sex offender registry and discovered the man was wanted.
