Suspect caught 30 years after he allegedly assaulted man in Las Vegas and disappeared while awaiting trial

A suspect accused of sexual assaulting a man in Nevada was captured over three decades after he failed to show up in court, authorities said.

Las Vegas police announced Clifton Arnold, 68, was booked into the Clark County Detention Center on Jan. 3 in connection to the case.

According to a police report obtained by the Las Vegas Review-Journal, a man claimed in 1991 he had been drinking and passed out before Arnold allegedly raped him.

Officers took Arnold into custody in May of that year and charged him with felony sexual assault. He failed to show up in court while awaiting trial and a bench warrant was issued for his arrest. A second bench warrant was issued in 1997.

Police have not disclosed details related to Arnold’s capture.
