After nearly two years on the run, authorities in Georgia have arrested a fugitive who was found inside of an air conditioner vent.<\/p>\n

The Grady County Sheriff\u2019s Office confirmed in a statement that Kayla McKenzie<\/strong> was arrested in Moultrie, Georgia, on Monday, April 20.<\/p>\n

McKenzie was on the run for nearly two years after she received an outstanding felony bench warrant, according to the sheriff\u2019s office.<\/p>\n

A bench warrant is \u201can order from a judge that allows law enforcement to arrest someone who hasn\u2019t followed a court order. This could happen if someone missed a court date, skipped paying a fine, or failed to follow probation terms,\u201d according to Bogle Law.<\/p>\n

Unlike an arrest warrant, a bench warrant focuses on compliance. The purpose of a bench warrant is to make sure the person adheres to the court\u2019s rules. An example of when a bench warrant is issued when someone doesn\u2019t show up for their court date, a judge may issue a bench warrant to ensure they come back.<\/p>\n

Authorities were finally able to track McKenzie down after investigators received a tip that she was allegedly hiding inside a residence in Moultrie. The home where she was found is located about 35 miles away from Grady County.<\/p>\n

Officers then reported to the location, where they found McKenzie allegedly hiding inside the vent of an air conditioner on the ground.<\/p>\n

Police did not reveal who shared the tip or how they had the information regarding McKenzie\u2019s whereabouts. It\u2019s also not known what she has been up to over the past few years or why she was at the home she was located at.<\/p>\n

McKenzie was then taken into custody without further incident and she was transported to a detention facility. The sheriff\u2019s office confirmed that she will now face the charges associated with her outstanding felony bench warrant.<\/p>\n
