ROXBURY, Maine (AP) Authorities say two fugitives missing in western Maine since last month are back in custody.

Shawn Batchelder, a convicted sex offender, had skipped a meeting with his probation officer.

The other man, Steven Petersen, is on bail on a sexual assault charge.

Franklin County sheriff’s deputies say it looks like the men had been living in the woods for weeks.

The deputies said the two were seen along Bemis Road in Rangeley Plantation around 6 p.m. Thursday. They had asked a woman and man for directions. The couple recognized the men and called Franklin County Dispatch. Hours later, authorities say a homeowner called to report two men in their garage.

It wasn’t immediately known if they had attorneys.
