Authorities believe the man in the yellow sweatshirt, pictured above, is 23-year-old William Watson of Auburn, Alabama. Police arrested Watson at his home on Monday.

According to WRBL, “Watson was taken into custody without incident around 1:45 Monday afternoon at a home along Samantha Court in Auburn, Alabama. Federal authorities and Auburn police were present when Watson was led from the house in handcuffs after a Lee County Judge revoked his bond on prior drug charges. Watson is now in Federal custody.

Watson had previously been arrested on drug charges including trafficking marijuana and LSD.
