A high risk sex offender is on the run. He walked out of a local half-way house and cannot be tracked because he cut off his electronic monitor.
Robert Lee Moone was living at the Encore House, which is located near the intersection of Cameron Road and East 52nd Street. He arrived there this past January after living briefly in Houston and Beaumont.
In 1989, Moone was sentenced to 45 years in prison by a Travis County jury. According to court records, he broke into a home, armed with a knife, and tried to sexually assault a 13-year-old girl. He was granted parole in 2010 and placed on what is called the “Super Intensive Supervised Program,” which requires 24-hour monitoring.
Authorities, Tuesday, issued an alert and asked residents to keep their guard up.
"When they are walking around their neighborhoods, areas that they feel safe in and around campuses, areas that they feel safe in, there are people looking for an opportunity to commit a crime. And if they are walking down the street totally oblivious to what’s going on around them, it makes them an easy target for a criminal,” said Officer Darrell Halstead with the UT Police Department.
Moone could not leave the half way house with out submitting a travel plan with his parole officer. The manager of Encore House told FOX 7 that Moone did not cause any trouble, but he became frustrated because he could not leave and get a job. A family member was paying his rent at Encore House.
