Fugitive Phillip Lee Sandy, age 45, was arrested Thursday night in Clay County and is now in custody in the Central Regional Jail.

Sandy, a convicted sexual offender, was being sought by police on several warrants, according to Cpl.. J.E. Skidmore of the West Virginia State Police.

Among the charges facing Sandy include failure to notify police he had moved from, or abandoned, his former Rosedale residence. It is unknown whether he moved or fled from Braxton County.

He was also wanted for failure to appear and testify in a federal criminal case.

Sandy was convicted in 1990 of the attempted rape of an adult female in Virginia. He served approximately one year in jail for his crime.

No further details of the arrest or pending charges were available late Thursday.
