From the Texas Department of Public Safety:
AUSTIN – Mark Anthony Breaux, 49, a Texas 10 Most Wanted Sex Offender, is now in custody after being captured on Wednesday in Humble, Texas. Breaux was wanted for failure to register as a sex offender, evading arrest/detention and probation violation. The arrest was the result of a tip, and a reward up to $5,000 will be paid.
Working off tip information, the Texas Department of Public Safety Criminal Investigations Division (CID) located and arrested Breaux without incident near a gas station in Humble. In 1991, Breaux was convicted of aggravated sexual assault of a child after an incident in Jefferson County involving a 9-year-old girl. He subsequently was sentenced to 15 years in prison. For more information, see his captured bulletin at: http://www.dps.texas.gov/Texas10MostWanted/SexOffenderDetails.aspx?id=309.
So far in 2015, DPS and other agencies have arrested 25 Texas 10 Most Wanted Fugitives and Sex Offenders, including 19 sex offenders, and $61,500 in rewards have been paid for tips that resulted in arrests.
To be eligible for the cash rewards, there are five different ways to provide anonymous tips:
Call the Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-252-TIPS (8477).
Text the letters DPS – followed by your tip – to 274637 (CRIMES) from your cell phone.
