A convicted felon and registered sex offender that the FBI thought could have been hiding out in Southern California was arrested in Portland Friday, FBI officials confirmed.
Kevin Anthony Briggs was wanted for allegedly assaulting a female and a police officer in Bozeman, Mont. He was last seen in Northern California and information obtained by the FBI indicated he may have been traveling south toward Mexico.
Tips from the public helped law enforcement locate Briggs in Oregon, where his is awaiting possible extradition back to Montana.
At the time of the incident, Briggs was on probation for previous convictions in 2004 of sexual intercourse without consent, aggravated kidnapping, escape and burglary.
The FBI was offering a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to the location and arrest of Briggs.
