Epifano Riberas had given police a completely made up address, Penndel police said.
A search for Riberas began March 3, ahead of an upcoming trial for an unrelated incident, while authorities tried to verify his home address, Penndel police said.
The Bucks County Park Rangers asked for help from Penndel police in verifying his address on a separate criminal charge, but attempts indicated the address did not exist at all, police said.
Riberas, 65, was eventually found in Bensalem where he was living, and told authorities he lived in Penndel — and even showed police exactly where he lived on a ma, they said.
The address of that house was not the address that Pennsylvania State Police had on file, though.
"A check of tax and property records for Penndel also indicated that the address was false," police said.
A warrant was issued for Riberas' arrest and he was charged with failing to comply with Megan's Law Registration information. As required under Megan's Law, Riberas is a lifetime reporter of his current address and occupation.
At a preliminary hearing, his bail was set at 10% of $50,000. Unable to post bail, Riberas was sent to Bucks County Prison to await his hearing.
