He was not arrested. He is in custody. Different...
They may be arresting him for leaving Florida and not registering his sex offender status in Georgia within 48 hours.
For Jessica's family's sake, I hope they get some good news from this apprehension.
I hate to say it's not likely.
Truly good news is not likely, you are right. But often, at these points in a missing child case, the assumption is that the child is dead. With that being assumed (and I'd be shocked if she was alive), good news might be that her body can be located and properly buried.
Not only was he technically living 2 miles from the Lunsford home, according to a USA Today article, he frequently stayed with his half-sister, whose house is "within eyeshot" of the Lunsford home. Article also says that she lived 150 yeard away from the Lunsfords.

thxs!
I saw the grandparents interviewed yesterday and they could see the house fomr their front porch
HOMOSASSA, Fla. -- A registered sex offender being sought for questioning in the disappearance of a 9-year-old girl has been taken into custody.
Ronda Hemminger Evan with the Citrus County sheriff's office says that Georgia officials have placed John Evander Couey under arrest because he didn't notify Florida officials that he was leaving the state. That's a requirement for sex offenders.
The sheriff of Citrus County, Fla., Jeff Dawsy, said 46-year-old Couey's home is about two miles from Jessica's home, but he also sometimes stayed with relatives who live within eyeshot of her house. Couey is considered only a "person of interest" in the Jessica Lunsford case, but has not been named a suspect.
From interviewing relatives investigators found out that Couey had traveled to Savannah, Ga.
Savannah police say they interviewed a man Saturday after Citrus officials asked them to talk to him. Sgt. Mike Wilson said Couey was found in a Salvation Army shelter, but since there wasn't a warrant for his arrest at the time, investigators released him.
Couey’s criminal record includes multiple arrests for burglary, carrying a concealed weapon, indecent exposure, disorderly conduct and larceny.

That parole violation would be the absconding...right?
Absconding Avenue, I think...
;-)
I heard yesterday that the people who lived there denied he had been there during the time she went missing, but some neighbor said that he was there.
Mark Fuhrman was on Fox saying he didn't think this guy is "the one". He thinks it will still be within the family circle.
He left Homosassa for Savannah on Feb. 28th, according to officials. Jessie disappeared on the 23rd.
News conf. @ 11:45est according to Fox.
