MEMPHIS, TN (abc24.com) - A man on the run for nearly 10 months, wanted for forcing three runaway teens and another woman into prostitution, was taken into custody Thursday.

Memphis police were called to a hotel on the 4000-block of Lamar Avenue on December 21, 2011. Officers found four victims, one adult female and three runaway juveniles, who stated they had been forced into prostitution by 25-year-old Amos Oyeleye.

Oyeleye ran when police arrived on the scene. On Thursday, October 11, he was arrested and charged with eight counts of Trafficking for Sexual Servitude. He is being held at the Shelby County Jail on $600,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in court October 19.
