Reid had been wanted by Philadelphia police for an allegedly raping a boy in 2021.
A warrant for his arrest was issued in April, the Marshals said, and he is facing sexual assault and corruption of a minor charges in that case.
The Marshals had been tracking Reid for five days before his arrest, Robert Clark, supervisory deputy for the U.S.
Marshals Fugitive Task Force in Philadelphia, told CBS.
"This is someone who was very transient," Clark said.
"He knows the criminal justice system, he knows he's being looked for.
In some of our surveillance videos, Mr.
Reid is wearing a balaclava, medical masks, a jungle Boonie hat and it was very difficult to get an ID on him."

The Philadelphia District Attorney's Office charged Reid with homicide by vehicle, involuntary manslaughter and related charges Friday afternoon.
Wolfe, 20, was riding a 2004 Triumph motorcycle on Kelly Drive near the Strawberry Mansion Bridge on June 24 when he was hit by a white SUV that was attempting to make an illegal turn onto Reservoir Drive, investigators have said.
Wolfe became lodged under the SUV and was dragged for more than a mile.
The SUV fled eastbound on Kelly Drive without stopping to render aid, police said.
Wolfe was taken to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center and died the next morning.
He recently had completed his sophomore year at Temple's Fox School of Business, where he was studying actuarial science.
Philadelphia police released photos on July 7 of the suspected vehicle in the crash, believed to be a 2001-2008 white Chevrolet Trailblazer.
Last week, authorities also released images of a young woman they believe may "possess vital information" that could assist in the investigation.
