A convicted sex offender who'd been sought by US Marshals since 2014 was finally arrested this week, after investigators received a tip that the man was hiding out in San Francisco.

According to Virginia's Daily Press newspaper, 59-year-old Daniel Nickerson, of Norfolk, Virginia, was charged in 2013 with aggravated sexual battery and indecent liberties with a minor. He was released on bail in 2014 and apparently fled the area, as he was a no-show for subsequent hearings.

That wasn't Nickerson's first brush with the law, Bay City News reports, as "He was also convicted of risk of injury to a minor child in 2005 in Connecticut for an offense that occurred in 1989." According to the Daily Press, Virginia State Police "also wanted the man for failure to register as a sex offender."

Earlier this year the US Marshals received a tip that Nickerson was "hiding out among [San Francisco's] homeless population," KRON 4 reports. And on Tuesday that tip paid off, as Marshals tracked him to a homeless shelter at Fifth and Bryant Streets, where he was arrested without incident.

Nickerson is now a short-term resident San Francisco County Jail, which will keep him in custody until he's extradited back to Virginia. After that, he's expected to finally face the charges levied against him in the 2013 case.
