Tip Leads Deputies To Fugitive Texas Sex Offender In McAlester

A man on the Texas Department of Public Safety's 10 Most Wanted sex offender list has been caught in Oklahoma after disappearing from a Dallas halfway house Friday.

Pittsburg County Sheriff Joel Kerns says deputies arrested Robert Grunsfeld, 51, Monday afternoon in the parking lot of a Taco Bell in McAlester.

Kerns says his office got a tip about Grunsfeld.

Records show Grunsfeld has convictions for aggravated sexual assault and sexual assault, plus burglary, fraud and carrying a prohibited weapon.

In 2010, Grunsfeld was ordered to live at a Dallas halfway house to participate in the civil commitment program.

Texas officials say Grunsfeld intentionally cut off his electronic ankle monitor before heading to Oklahoma.
