The U.S. Marshals Service said relatives of David J. Torrence convinced him to turn himself in to sheriff’s deputies in Ouchita County in Camden, Arkansas. Torrence, 43, will 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. He was released from prison April 20 after serving a one-year sentence for failing to register as a sex offender. Three days later he cut off his tracking bracelet and has been at large since. He was convicted in 1995 of raping a 15-year-old in south Everett.
