A South Carolina fugitive who was on the run after sexually assaulting two 17-year-old girls has been arrested after turning up at a relative's house.

Apparently 47-year-old Kenneth Hinson felt thirsty after running through the woods from his residence and reached his relative's house. He thought he might be safe there but it turned out that his relative turned him in to the police, who had been hot on his trail after receiving the 911 call from the girls who were assaulted by Hinson.

When the police finally caught him after 4 days of intense searching, Hinson did not put up any resistance, but he was obviously very thirstly as he asked a police officer for more water. His relative had not given him any since he turned up at her house.

The police officer gave him bottled mineral water before taking him to the police station.

Hinson was charged with two counts of kidnapping, two counts of first-degree sexual assault and two counts of assault and battery with intent to kill. The judge denied him bail and also did not forget to charge the defendant $1.29 for the bottle of mineral water.

The payment was later raised when Hinson requested for a glass water, which he then accidentally spilled onto the prosecutor's notes. Besides paying an additional $5000 for the damages incurred, Hinson was further charged with one count of intentional vandalism.

The jury's decision will be made on the 22nd of March.
