A Texas fugitive wanted on suspicion of sexual assault of a child has been arrested in Denver.

Billy Joe McQueen, wanted by the Van Zandt County Sheriff’s Office, was arrested Saturday by the U.S. Marshals Service, Denver police and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers.

An arrest warrant was issued for McQueen on July 27 when he failed to appear in court on charges of aggravated sexual assault of a child and online solicitation of a minor.

Investigators determined McQueen was “hiding with family members” in Colorado, according to a Marshals new release, and he was working in the 3900 block of West Union Avenue. McQueen was taken into custody Saturday afternoon.
