A convicted Arizona child predator who dodged justice for more than 30 years has been arrested in Ukraine and returned to the United States, the U.S. Marshals Service said.

Daniel Brewster, 67, skipped his 1992 sentencing and fled the country after multiple child molestation convictions in Tucson’s Pima County Superior Court.
