YUMA, Ariz. - Officials with the U.S. Marshals Service say they have arrested a man in Yuma, in connection with two cases of sexual assault involving minors in the Midwest.
According to a statement released on Feb. 25, members of the U.S. Marshals Services, led by the Arizona WANTED Violent Offender Task Force, arrested Daniel William Lehmann at a business in the Southwestern Arizona city.
