A convicted sex offender in California was arrested in Arizona on Tuesday after allegedly faking his own death and failing to register as a sex offender in the state.

A man in Arizona was arrested earlier this week after he allegedly faked his own death to avoid registering as a sex offender, according to the Pinal County Sheriff's Office. Benjamin Hollins, 50, who was originally convicted as a sex offender more than 20 years ago in California, was arrested on Tuesday after officers with the Chandler Police Department located him living at a home in Mesa, Arizona, under a false identity.

Lamb explained Hollins' arrest in a short video posted to Facebook on Thursday. 'Nice try, Benjamin. We found you. You're not dead. We're gonna hold you accountable,' Lamb said in the video. Hollins is scheduled to be in court on Tuesday.
