PORT ANGELES — Seattle police arrested a wanted Port Angeles man Sunday 17 months after he fled from Clallam County.
Larry Marshall Worley III, 28, failed to appear at his trial in late September 2009 on five counts of second-degree child rape and 10 counts of second-degree child molestation.
A bench warrant was issued.
Two Seattle bicycle officers discovered Worley had a warrant for his arrest after contacting him while patrolling a neighborhood, said Port Angeles Detective Jason Viada.
They arrested Worley solely on the warrant, said Viada, who didn’t know why they made contact with him.
Worley will be transferred to Clallam County jail, but it was not known Tuesday when.
Port Angeles police arrested Worley on Sept. 4, 2009, after the family of a 12-year-old girl reported that Worley repeatedly had sexual contact with her.
