An Alaska mechanic accused of a long history of fraud and theft was arrested in Big Lake after authorities spent weeks searching for him.
The 44-year-old man was taken into custody Wednesday at a home in Mat-Su following a lengthy surveillance operation involving multiple agencies. He was arrested without incident and was being held at the Mat-Su Pretrial facility. A $100,000 cash performance bond was set. If he posts bond, the defendant would also have to obtain a court-approved third-party custodian to ensure he follows release conditions and appears for hearings.
The arrest came after authorities said the man was wanted on several warrants totaling more than $2 million. The latest incident began after he allegedly left a residence in North Pole where he had been confined to house arrest while awaiting trial.
