Man Convicted of Sex Assault Captured After Eluding Authorities

A man found guilty of sexual assault is back in police custody months after he was scheduled to be sentenced.

Dardian Celaj, 37, was convicted of a first-degree sexual assault in Derby in 2012 Derby and managed to elude authorities even though he was wearing a GPS tracking device, according to the Hartford Courant.

U.S. Marshals took him into custody on Thursday at a friend's house in Naugatuck.

He was charged with first-degree failure to appear.

He was expected to appear in court on Friday.
