AUSTIN – Floyd Montrel Moore, 29, a Texas 10 Most Wanted Sex Offender, is now in custody after turning himself in on March 26 in Fort Worth. Moore, a violent sex offender, was wanted for aggravated assault and sex offender registration violation. The arrest was not the result of a tip, and no reward will be paid.
Moore's criminal history includes aggravated sexual assault of a child, aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon and unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon.
So far in 2015, DPS and other agencies have arrested nine Texas 10 Most Wanted Fugitives and Sex Offenders, including eight sex offenders and one gang member, and $13,500 in rewards have been paid for tips that resulted in arrests.
To be eligible for the cash rewards, there are four different ways to provide anonymous tips:
- Call the Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-252-TIPS (8477).
- Submit a web tip through the DPS website by selecting the fugitive you have information about, and then clicking on the link under their picture.
- Submit a Facebook tip by clicking the “SUBMIT A TIP” link (under the “About” section).
- Submit a tip through the DPS Mobile App. The app is currently available for iPhone users on the Apple App Store and for Android users on Google Play.
All tips are anonymous – regardless of how they are submitted.
DPS investigators work with local law enforcement agencies to select fugitives for the Texas 10 Most Wanted Fugitive and Sex Offender lists. You can find the current lists – with photos – on the DPS website.
Do not attempt to apprehend these fugitives; they are considered armed and dangerous.
