A fugitive from South Carolina who officials had warned was possibly armed and dangerous has been taken into custody near Georgetown.

The Scott County Sheriff’s Office arrested Nathan Ginter, 43, near Newtown Pike and Cynthiana Road, the sheriff’s office said in a Facebook post early Saturday.

Ginter was being held Saturday in the Scott County Detention Center.

A woman who had accompanied Ginter, Riley Pearson, was also in custody, according to the Georgetown Police Department.

Kentucky State Police had warned people in Bourbon, Harrison and Scott counties Tuesday that they were looking for Ginter after he fled from police.

“Ginter tortured his young child by means of water boarding and using a taser,” a U.S. Marshals wanted poster stated. “Despite failing to show up to court for his trial, Ginter was found guilty.” He was wanted by the City of Columbia, South Carolina, Police Department for failure to appear and unlawful conduct towards a child.

A reward for his arrest had been increased from $5,000 to $10,000, according to the marshals.

Columbia television station WOLO reported that Ginter failed to show up for his trial in Richland County, South Carolina, about a week ago, and a bench warrant for his arrest was issued. During a trial that lasted three days, Ginter was convicted on four counts of unlawful conduct toward a child, according to the station.

Ginter left bruises on his 3-year-old daughter when he used a bamboo stick to beat her, left second-degree burns on her backside with a stun gun and used cold baths and showers to waterboard the child, the ABC affiliate reported.

Family members reported the abuse after seeing the burns, and the girl’s 9-year-old sister testified that she witnessed the incidents, according to WOLO.
