SAN DIEGO -- A man who was the subject of a two day Coast Guard search after he disappeared while swimming off La Jolla over the weekend was arrested Wednesday in Yuma, Ariz., the U.S. Marshals Service said.

James Repetto, 54 of Sandwich, Mass., was awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty to stealing $1.3 million from Ocean Spray Cranberries when he disappeared. On Saturday, a friend told lifeguards that Repetto went for a 2-mile ocean swim off La Jolla Shores and never returned. Lifeguards and the Coast Guard used boats and a helicopter to search the ocean off La Jolla for 20 hours before giving up on Sunday.

The Marshals Service did not say how they tracked Repetto to Yuma. He was arrested on federal warrant for not abiding by the conditions of his release.

Repetto was an operations and plant manager for a Boston company that worked with Ocean Spray Cranberries. He and a partner defrauded Ocean Spray of $1.3 million by issuing fraudulent invoices, according to the Marshals Service. Both men face up to 20 years in prison when they are sentenced.
