Deputies announced on Monday that they caught a man wanted for allegedly telling his 13-year-old daughter to die by suicide, leading the victim to cut herself on several nights and then, on one day, down 14 Benadryl pills in an attempt to end her own life, authorities said in the arrest affidavit against Gared Wayne Canales, 33.

Documents are dated April 12, but the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office in Florida announced his apprehension on Monday. Canales was found in Massachusetts and now sits in the Flagler County Jail for child abuse without great bodily injury and a misdemeanor violation of probation, authorities said.

Canales was already on probation after pleading no contest to violating a domestic violence injunction. He was sentenced to 30 days in jail, with credit for 13 days behind bars on Oct. 18, 2021, and also had to serve a year of probation. Records on Oct. 5, 2022, showed that he allegedly violated his probation by failing to comply with orders like enrolling in a domestic violence intervention program, staying away from the victim in that case (concerning a Nov. 26, 2021 incident), and paying the $28 cost of supervision to Judicial Correction Services.
