Thirty-year-old Daniel Rosario was captured by the U.S. Marshals Service in Newark, N.J., on Wednesday.
U.S. Marshal Michael Regan says Rosario failed to return March 25 to a halfway house in Scranton where he had been serving time on burglary charges. Authorities allege that Rosario raped a child in Dickson City earlier this month.
U.S. Marshals caught up with Rosario at an apartment building in Newark. Regan says Rosario fled on foot and scaled a razor-wire fence before being captured.
He's in Essex County Jail, awaiting extradition.
It's not clear whether Rosario has an attorney.
