Man wanted in Mississippi arrested in Pinellas

ST. PETERSBURG - A man wanted in Mississippi on various charges, including capital sexual battery on a child, was arrested at the Sandman Motel at 570 34th Street N on this morning, the Pinellas Sheriff's Office said.

Alex Daniel Thornton, 38, faces charges in Mississippi such as capital sexual battery on a child, and sexual battery on an adult, among others. He also faces a charge locally of failure to register as a sex offender.

Sheriff's Office investigators tracked Thornton down after learning from Mississippi authorities that he was in Pinellas County.
