Marshals Offer $5,000 Reward for Wanted Sex Offender

The U.S. Marshals Service and other law enforcement agencies are seeking Gabriel Allen Hargus, 49, of Mineral Wells, West Virginia, on warrants for failing to register as a sex offender and violating parole. Authorities are offering up to $5,000 for information leading to his arrest; they say he has been evading law enforcement for more than three years and was last seen in El Paso, Texas, driving a silver 2016 Ford Focus with West Virginia plates. Hargus was convicted in 2011 of possessing child sexual abuse material and sexually abusing a 13-year-old girl, and was sentenced to prison, extended supervision and lifetime sex-offender registration.
