MALDEN, Mass.—One of the state's most wanted sex offenders is in custody.
State police say they arrested 51-year-old Angelo Crawford just after midnight on Saturday at the Town Line Motel in Malden. Authorities went to the hotel after getting a tip that Crawford was there.
He is a Level 3 sex offender, considered the most dangerous.
Police have been after Crawford for three years. He was twice convicted in 1996 of indecent assault and battery on a person over age 14.
He has four outstanding arrest warrants for indecent assault and battery on a child under the age of 14 (two counts); assault and battery with a dangerous weapon (a knife), sexual conduct for a fee, intimidation of a witness, and failure to register as a sex offender.
Arraignment is scheduled for Monday in Salem District Court.
