Texas Most Wanted Sex Offender Caught In Oklahoma

FORT WORTH (CBSDFW.COM) - A Texas top 10 most wanted sex offender has been caught, days after he cut his ankle bracelet and ran away from a Dallas halfway house.

Robert Grunsfeld, 51, removed his ankle monitor on Friday and was caught on Monday in McAlester, Oklahoma.

Authorities from the Pittsburg County Sheriff's Office arrested Grunsfeld at a fast food restaurant at about 5 PM.

Grunsfeld has been convicted of six counts of sexual assault, three counts of carrying a prohibited weapon, burglary and fraud.

He had been sentenced to live at a halfway house as part of the civil commitment program.

A $3,000 reward was offered for tips leading to Grunsfeld's arrest, but this arrest was not the result of a tip.

Grunsfeld is now being held in Oklahoma.
