Charles Sprague, 44, left a Fort Worth halfway house in the 600 block of North Henderson Street about 5 a.m. Wednesday. Sprague also cut off the 24-hour electronic tracking device he is required by law to wear at all times, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety.
Sprague has an extensive criminal history, including convictions for aggravated sexual assault and aggravated kidnapping causing bodily injury/sexual abuse, police said.
The last confirmed sighting was at about 7:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Austin Street Shelter near Fair Park in Dallas. Sprague was seen driving an early 2000 model white Honda Accord with a black rear bumper.
He is described as Native American, about 6 feet 6 inches tall and 240 pounds with black hair and brown eyes. He was last wearing a black leather jacket, dark jeans, white sneakers and carrying a clear backpack.
Maypearl police said Sprague attended Maypearl High School and apparently has ties to people who currently live in the community, so officials are asking the community to be on the lookout.
