Olson had previously served prison time for sexual conduct involving a child, fleeing and eluding, and injuring a police officer. He had several felony convictions and cut his tether and took off.
In 1992, he was convicted of escaping prison when he walked away from the Michigan Department of Corrections and had other convictions.
While on the run, police say Olson pretended to be a teenager, gave a young girl alcohol, and sexually assaulted her.
He was paroled in 2017, but a new warrant was issued in Chesterfield Township on new charges of criminal sexual conduct, allegedly sexually assaulting a person with special needs.
