"After disabling his GPS monitoring December 2021, Moore became a fugitive and the case was delegated to the Marshals Service shortly after," the U.S. Marshals Service said in a statement.

Taskforce investigators from Philadelphia made their presence known at the home. After a brief negotiation, Moore was apprehended without incident, officials said, and was taken to the Bucks County Correctional Facility.
