An accused child predator who was wanted in another state is now in custody in Western North Carolina. The Polk County Sheriff's Office says 29 year old Timothy Meadows was taken into custody after a joint agency operation in the Mill Spring Community.
Meadows was wanted in New Jersey for charges of 2nd degree sexual assault and 2nd degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor. Authorities in New Jersey say the victim was just six years old.
Meadows is currently being held in Polk County and is set to be extradited back to New Jersey.
