GIRDLER, Ky. (AP) - Authorities in Kentucky have arrested a man who managed to evade law enforcement for months.
News outlets report Knox County Sheriff’s deputies arrested 32-year-old Travis Marcum last week on charges including child abuse and burglary.
The sheriff’s office says an arrest warrant was issued for Marcum in October when deputies were told he had assaulted a 10-year-old. The nature of the assault is unclear.

Deputies were unable to find Marcum, who they say then broke into a home in November and hurt a person. Authorities didn’t immediately release the identity of the wounded person and the connection between the person and Marcum is unclear.
Marcum was arrested in Girdler and found to be in possession of suspected methamphetamine and syringes. It’s unclear if he has a lawyer.
