The arrest is a result of a collateral lead sent by the USMS Western District of Oklahoma Metro Fugitive Task Force in Oklahoma City, where the alleged abuse occurred.
Enid, Okla. police had charged Watkins on Aug. 14 with one felony count of distribution of child pornography. Additional charges of manufacturing child pornography and three counts of lewd acts with a child under 12 were added on Aug. 28.
Authorities said the baby turned one in June.
The U.S. Marshals office had offered a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of Watkins, who was charged on Aug. 14 with one felony count of distribution of child pornography by the Enid Police Department.
