Authorities have arrested an Alpharetta man who allegedly cut off his ankle monitor, fled to California and dared officials to catch him.

Daniel Joseph Gifford, who was under house arrest after allegedly terrorizing his sister in Athens last summer, was captured in California, according to the Athens Banner-Herald.

Gifford, 28, was returned late last week to Clarke County, where he faces multiple charges in connection with the July 9, 2013, incident, according to the newspaper.
