A member of the White Mountain Apache Tribe of Arizona will face federal child molestation charges after being apprehended March 6.
Ronald George, 37, had escaped from detention officers while at an Indian Health Service hospital on the Fort Apache Reservation. A team of tribal, state and federal authorities launched a manhunt before finding him in a reservation community.
The tribe's acting police chief credited tips from the public with George's capture. He was transferred to Flagstaff, where he awaits felony charges in federal court.
