The U.S. Marshal Service received information that Colburn was in Topeka, Kansas.  Colburn was arrested by the Shawnee County Sheriff's Department and is facing new charges for failing to register in Kansas. 

Colburn was convicted of Criminal Sexual Conduct 2nd Degree (Person Under 13) in 1992.  He was selected as one of Michigan's most wanted sex offenders after he failed to change his address and verify his residence during a required verification period. 

Michigan's Sex Offenders Registration Act requires individuals convicted of felony-listed offenses to verify their address at a local law enforcement agency quarterly during the first 15 days of January, April, July and October.  Offenders are also required to report a change of address when they move or vacate a residence.  Failure to do so can result in a felony conviction with a punishment ranging from 4 to 10 years. 

The MSP Web site began featuring the names and photographs of 10 of the state's most wanted sex offenders in August 2006.  As wanted individuals are located, new offenders are featured.  Colburn is the 13th "Most Wanted" sex offender to be arrested this year.  The public can provide information about any offender by contacting the MSP toll free at 1-866-761-7678, or by contacting the nearest law enforcement agency.
