(CNN) — A convicted sex offender who was on the run for nearly a week with his 14-year-old niece is now in the custody of Texas law enforcement, according to authorities. Matthew Mallory, 35, of Kingfisher County, Oklahoma, is being held in a San Antonio jail. Bexar County Sheriff’s Office deputies caught the fugitive Tuesday night outside the city limits, Deputy U.S. Marshall Tom Smith said on HLN’s Nancy Grace. Mallory’s niece, identified by the Kingfisher County Sheriff’s Office as Airel Daphane Ann Mallory, was “okay” but a little dehydrated, Smith said.
