FORT TOWSON, Oklahoma (KTVZ) -- A Redmond fugitive recently charged with attempted rape and sexual abuse of a young girl nearly a decade ago has been arrested in Oklahoma, authorities said.

John Patrick Varney Fackrell, 38, was indicted Feb. 25 on one count of first-degree attempted rape, two counts of first-degree sexual abuse and one count of third-degree sexual abuse.

The alleged crimes occurred between January and July of 2016 and involved a girl under the age of 12.

A $500,000 arrest warrant was issued in the case two days after Varney Fackrell's indictment.

Choctaw County, Oklahoma Sheriff Terry Park said two deputies went to a location and arrested Varney Fackrell in Fort Towson without incident and that he will be extradited back to Oregon to face the charges.

Choctaw County Jail records Monday showed he remained held there for Oregon officials and faces a charge of flight to avoid prosecution.
