A US man was arrested after a year on the run after a woman checked his name on Google before meeting him for a date.

The woman tipped off authorities in New York after agreeing to meet LaShawn Pettus-Brown in a restaurant on Long Island.

The woman's Google search revealed there was an FBI warrant out for Pettus-Brown's arrest in connection with fraud allegations in Cincinnati, Ohio.

He was arrested at Applebee's restaurant without a struggle and is being held without bond in New York. He's expected to be returned to Cincinnati soon, reports the azcentral website.
