The U.S. Marshals Service has arrested a Florida fugitive wanted on multiple child sex crime charges, ending his attempt to evade justice across state lines.
Andrew Paul Johnson, 44, was wanted in Hernando County, Florida, on several serious offenses, including:
According to authorities, Johnson fled Florida after a warrant was issued for his arrest. Investigators tracked him to Franklin, Tennessee, following a crucial tip. On Murfreesboro Road, U.S. Marshals located Johnson at a business and arrested him without incident.
Johnson was booked into the Williamson County Sheriff’s Office jail as a fugitive from justice. He will remain in custody while awaiting extradition back to Florida, where prosecutors intend to pursue the charges against him.
Law enforcement officials emphasized that despite his efforts to run, Johnson’s capture underscores a simple truth: fugitives cannot outrun justice.
