The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office has arrested a fugitive wanted in Lee County, Florida, who knew he had an active warrant and fled across the state in an attempt to avoid arrest.
On Sept. 19, the FCSO was contacted by the Lee County Sheriff’s Office that they had reason to believe a fugitive from their county was possibly residing in Flagler County, a FCSO press release said. The LCSO Fugitive Unit requested assistance to locate Christopher Connors, 50, who had an active arrest warrant out of Lee County.
Connors has been a registered sex offender since 2022, when he was convicted of two counts of lewd or lascivious battery and two counts of lewd or lascivious exhibition, the press release said.
The FCSO’s Fugitive Unit and K-9 Unit deputies located Connors at a gas station on North Ocean Shore Boulevard in Palm Coast. There, deputies watched Connors get into the passenger seat of a white convertible and followed the convertible to a residence on Shady Lane North in Palm Coast where Connors got out.
Deputies arrested Connors at the residence without incident, the press release said. Connors told deputies he was aware that he had an active warrant and had fled to Flagler County because he was scared to go back to prison.
He was taken to the Flagler County jail where he is awaiting extradition to Lee County.
