State police say 41-year-old Froylan Ocampo Nava was arrested Sunday night in Orrstown, about 30 miles southwest of Harrisburg. Authorities say he had been living in Shippensburg.
Investigators say Nava abducted the children in Houston. He was wanted on charges of interference with the custody of children and unlawful flight to avoid prosecution.
According to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, Nava was suspected of abducting two sons, now ages 9 and 12, in 2003.
The children are under the care of county officials until they can be returned to their family.
Nava is being held on $500,000 bail. It was not clear if he had an attorney.
