SEATTLE -- The U.S. Marshals Service says a sex offender who cut off a tracking bracelet in Lynnwood and fled has surrendered in Camden, Arkansas.

The service says family members talked David J. Torrence into surrendering Friday at the sheriff's office in Ouchita County.

He'll be returned to Washington under a state Department of Corrections warrant and could face a federal charge of failing to register as a sex offender under the new Adam Walsh Act.

The 43-year-old who had raped a young girl in Everett in 1995 was released from prison April 20 after serving a one-year sentence for failing to register as a sex offender.

The Snohomish County sheriff's office says his tracking bracelet was cut off and found April 23 at an apartment complex in Lynnwood.
