Sex offender arrested in San Diego

DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) - US Marshals have arrested a local sex offender in San Diego, California.

David Conrad Buelow, 62, was sought on a warrant in violation of the Adam Walsh Act. Marshals say he fled Dayton in violation of his state sex offender registration requirements.

He was also wanted for local charges of failure to register and for violating his probation.

Buelow was on the Sex Offender Registry because of a 1987 conviction for rape and subsequent violations of his sex offender status.

Investigators with the U.S. Marshals Service determined that Buelow and a woman believed to be his wife had fled to the San Diego, California area and had not registered there as required by both state laws.

Information developed in Dayton was sent to investigators in California who immediately filed for a warrant.

Buelow now faces 10 years in prison.

Buelow will be in the San Diego jail pending a hearing.  He could then be extradited back to Montgomery County to answer to local charges.
