He has a long history of being a thief. The police were asking his whereabouts for outstanding warrants several weeks before the baby went missing.
He is being held on a federal warrant; unlikely he is being held in the local jail. The feds have him. Here's the link:

I read but cannot find the link that it had to do with an attempted burglary and tampering with a vehicle and a violtion of probabion, but no link on that. Those are not usually federal charges unless they involve federal property.
