Law enforcement officials had been tracking Rodriguez through an ATM withdrawal in St. Mary’s, Georgia, and by surveillance cameras at convenience stores in South Carolina and North Carolina.

Officials at Fort White High School have suspended Rodriguez, who coached the boys soccer team at the north Florida school. It wasn’t immediately clear what criminal charges he would face.
