Curtis was located in the backyard of a home in Tucson's northwest side. According to Warner, the residents of the home were unaware of Curtis' arrest warrant.

U.S. Marshals were able to track down Curtis after finding a vehicle associated with him near the home, Warner said.

Curtis was booked into the Pima County Jail last night and is being held without bond.
