He went on the run while on supervised release in 2007, according to the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force in Miami, Florida.
U.S. Marshals tracked down leads throughout Ohio, Florida, and Texas.
They discovered that Scanlon was living and working at a Miami Beach hotel last week, U.S. Marshals said.
He is now in custody in Florida and will be returned to federal court in Northern Ohio, WOIO said.
“Incredible work by investigators here in Ohio, as well as in Florida, led to the ultimate capture of a fugitive who thought he could disappear under a fake name and life in the Miami sun,” said U.S. Marshal Pete Elliott.
