Chester A. Stiles RELATED STORY: COUNTDOWN TO CAPTURE Advertisement

Chester Arthur Stiles, the man who allegedly videotaped himself brutally assaulting a 3-year-old girl, was apprehended Monday evening in Henderson.

Henderson police reportedly found Stiles by conducting a routine traffic stop on the white, four-door Buick Century he had reportedly been living in since he went on the run three weeks ago.

Stiles was pulled over for having no license plate at Green Valley Parkway and Sunset Boulevard at approximately 7 p.m.

Stiles reportedly pulled over into a Subway parking lot and handed Henderson Officer Dye a driver's license with a picture that looked nothing like the driver.

Dye, a seven-year veteran with the department, asked Stiles what his Social Security number was, to which Stiles responded he couldn't remember.

At a press conference Monday night, Dye said he found that suspicious.

At that time a second policeman, Officer Mike Gower, pulled in to assist Dye and the two officers began to question the subject.

At that point, the fugitive reportedly told officers who he was, saying he was just tired.

"If you rape a 3-year-old on tape, you have to go on the run," Stiles told authorities.

The FBI and Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department also responded to the scene, where Stiles was taken into custody by Metro.

An FBI agent who responded to the scene said Stiles was so nervous he actually vomited in the car while speaking to law enforcement officers.

Stiles appeared disheveled and tired, with much longer hair than he was seen with in the mug shots distributed to the media.

The FBI was searching for Stiles on a fugitive warrant.

He was booked into the Clark County Detention Center on 21 charges, including 12 charges of sexual assault, eight charges of lewdness with a child under 14, and one count of attempted sexual assault.

He is being held in isolation, presumably due to the well-known aversion the majority of incarcerated subjects have with pedophiles, alleged as well as convicted.

Stiles was wanted by Metro for an incident that occurred in 2004, involving a 6-year-old girl he allegedly assaulted at the time. He was wanted by the Las Vegas agency for lewdness with a child under the age of 14.

He was officially named a suspect in the most recent case Sept. 28, one week after a nationwide search for the victim, now 7, was found safe with her mother in Las Vegas.

Although he claimed to be a survivalist, Stiles ultimately gave in to authorities with no struggle. His claim to be a former Navy SEAL also proved untrue.

Stiles had reportedly told associates and an ex-girlfriend that he was a former Navy SEAL, but an Oct. 15 edition of "Navy Times" reported that Stiles "spent less than a year in the Navy from 1988 to 1989, but there is no record of him graduating from Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL training."

Stiles was discharged from the Navy as an engineman fireman recruit, the article reported.

Navy SEALs are a part of the Naval Special Warfare division who are trained in unconventional warfare. SEAL is an acronym that stands for sea, air, and land.

Meanwhile, the man who turned the video over to the Nye County Sheriff's Office, Darren Tuck, is facing a single felony charge of possession of child pornography that was filed by Nye County District Attorney Bob Beckett last Friday.

Tuck is scheduled to appear for his arraignment Oct. 22.

Tuck is represented by the Las Vegas law firm of Rasmussen & Kang, LLC.

Chris Rasmussen, Tuck's attorney, said he requested the arraignment take place sooner than it was originally scheduled because Tuck is eager to go to trial.

"We feel strongly that once a jury hears this, the 12 people will find him innocent," Rasmussen said.

Tuck has been incarcerated in the Nye County Detention Center since Sept. 30 for violating his parole on a previous charge of failure to pay child support.

Tuck appeared in Fifth District Court Monday for that charge but was not released or given a bail amount.

A hearing to decide whether or not his probation will be revoked is scheduled for Oct. 29.
