An alleged kidnapper from Florida was arrested in Maine over the weekend.
Derek Pearson, 41, was wanted in the Sunshine State for a probation violation stemming from a kidnapping charge, according to Oxford County Sheriff Christopher Wainwright.
Deputies learned about 7:30 a.m. Saturday that Pearson was staying in a Brock School Road home in Buckfield, Wainwright said Sunday.
After negotiations, Pearson surrendered without incident.
Pearson was taken to the Oxford County Jail in South Paris, where he is being held as a fugitive from justice and awaits extradition.
