Jeremiah Button faced numerous charges for sex crimes in Portage County and had been on the run after he didn’t show up at court in 2016.
Investigators say Button went to a wooded area along the Ice Age Trail in Marathon County, where he set up a bunker.
They say he made his own electricity using a bicycle as a generator, had a makeshift stove and went to the local landfill to get supplies.
Last week, a hunter found the bunker and called police.
Investigators say Button came out about 20 minutes after police arrived.
They say he seemed to be relieved, because it was his first human contact in three years.
