AUSTINTOWN TWP., Ohio - A 38-year-old man registered as a sex offender in Pennsylvania is in the Mahoning County Jail accused of driving fourteen-year-old girl 280 miles to Austintown from her home in Mahanoy Township, Pa.

Clyde Fesig of Tower City, Pennsylvania was arrested with the teen on Tuesday at the Austintown Walmart. 

According to court records, after the girl’s father told police that she was discovered missing from their home early Tuesday, investigators used GPS tracking on Fesig’s tractor-trailer to trace the truck to the Walmart parking lot.

The girl told police that Fesig had picked her up at a baseball field near her home.

Fesig, who has been designated as a Tier 1 sex offender since 2019, was convicted of indecent assault in 2016.

He is being held locally on a warrant for interference with custody filed by state police in Pennsylvania.
