CLEVELAND — U.S. Marshals have arrested a man in Cleveland who is wanted for alleged sexual offenses outside the state.
Officials say 21-year-old Christian Prince is accused of lewd or lascivious battery against a 15-year-old girl in Lee County, Florida. He later fled to Ohio, where authorities traced his whereabouts to a home on the 6900 clock of Denison Avenue.

Prince was found hiding in the attic rafters underneath some blankets, according to law enforcement. He was taken into custody without incident.
"Yet again a fugitive from south Florida thinks he can find a hiding spot here in Cleveland, Ohio and yet again members of our task force locate and arrest him within hours," Marshal Pete Elliot said in a statement. "Ohio will not be a haven for those on the run."
Prince is currently being held at the Cuyahoga County Jail as he awaits extradition back to Lee County.
