FLAGLER COUNTY, Fla. – Flagler County deputies have arrested a man wanted out of North Carolina in connection to what the sheriff’s office says are more than a dozen sex offenses involving a minor, according to a news release.
Luis Sosa, 50, was arrested on Wednesday after the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office Fugitive Unit was told by the Iredell County Sheriff’s Office that a fugitive wanted in North Carolina was possibly residing in Florida, the release states.
According to the sheriff’s office, Sosa had three active arrest warrants over “two counts of human trafficking of a child victim, two counts of taking indecent liberties with children, seven counts of sexual activity by a substitute parent or custodian, and five counts of sex offenses by a person in a parental role.”
Fugitive Unit deputies and Problem Area Crime Enforcement Unit detectives located Sosa walking his dog on Lynton Place near his Palm Coast residence, arresting him without incident, the sheriff’s office said.
Sosa is being held on no bond pending extradition to North Carolina, Sheriff Rick Staly said in a statement. His dog was turned over to Palm Coast Animal Control, according to the sheriff’s office.
