A convicted sex offender who failed to appear at his sentencing last year has been captured in Mexico and returned to an Alaska jail.

The U.S. Marshals Service says 35-year-old Tracy Swisher of Mossy Rock, Wash. is being held without bail in Ketchikan while he awaits next month's sentencing in Craig.

Swisher was convicted in January 2008 of sexually abusing a child under the age of 13.

The abuse occurred at a U.S. Forest Service cabin on Prince of Wales Island.
