A West Deptford man charged with sexually assaulting a child was arrested in Nevada after what police described as several weeks on the run, according to reports.
KVTN in Nevada reported that Humboldt County sheriff’s deputies arrested Patrick Duffy, 53, Wednesday after running the plates on a suspicious parked vehicle and finding out that the license plates had been reported stolen.
The sheriff’s department told the television station that it appeared Duffy had been on the run for several weeks and had been in the Humboldt County area for a few days.

There was a warrant out for Duffy’s arrest because he had failed to appear in court to answer to a charge of aggravated sexual assault on a child under 13, KVTN reported.
The sheriff’s department told the news station that Duffy was reluctant to be arrested but was ultimately taken into custody without issue.
Duffy was also charged with one count of possession of stolen property because of the stolen license plates, KVTN reported.
He is in custody in Nevada and it’s not clear when and how he will be transported to New Jersey to face the charges against him.
