U-S Embassy officials say the man tackled and tied up Leyva, after recognizing the self-ordained evangelist minister from posters the embassy had plastered around the country.
Leyva was deported earlier this week, and was in the custody of U-S Marshals in Florida.
They say he will likely be returned to the federal prison system after a court hearing.
Leyva was convicted of conspiring to molest dozens of young boys back in 1988.
He jumped parole from Roanoke in July and fled to Haiti.
Authorities still don't know how he got into the country.
