 Austin,
TX – Lloyd Lester Gibson, III, 67, was arrested by the Lone Star
Fugitive Task Force without incident this afternoon near the intersection of
Oltorf and South Congress after several days of surveillance. Gibson was
sought by the Fort Worth Police Department for Failing to Register as a Sex
Offender, and the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles for violating the
conditions of his parole.
Based upon Gibson’s criminal history, the seriousness of his prior offenses,
and the potential to re-offend, Gibson was added in November to the Texas
Department of Public Safety’s, Texas 10 Most Wanted Sex Offenders. Gibson
was released in 2010 from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice to
Houston and subsequently relocated to Fort Worth. It is alleged Gibson
recently failed to comply with his registration requirements resulting in
warrants being issued.
Dallas area officers notified the Lone Star Fugitive Task Force in Austin
advising of Gibson’s possible presence in the area. Officers initiated
surveillance culminating in Gibson’s arrest at approximately 12:30 p.m.
Robert R. Almonte, United States Marshal for the Western District of Texas
states, “I am committed to leveraging all the resources of the Lone Star
Fugitive Task Force and appreciate our long standing partnership with our
local and state law enforcement colleagues collectively removing fugitives
who are prone to commit future criminal activity against our children.”
Gibson was remanded to the Travis County Sheriff pending his extradition to
Tarrant County.
