U.S. fugitive sent back to Texas

Story PictureA convicted U.S. sex offender hiding out in Belize has been arrested and sent home. According to police, last September an arrest warrant was issued for forty-seven year old Randall Allen Smith after he failed to register as a sex offender following a conviction and jail term for the indecent assault of a female child in Tarrant County, Texas. The U.S. Marshals eventually tracked the felon to Belize where local police picked up Smith’s trail. Their investigations led them to Caye Caulker on Thursday where they found out that not only had the fugitive applied for a work permit, but was living with a Belizean woman. Smith was immediately detained and transported to Belize City. Two officers accompanied the fugitive to Houston today where he was handed over to U.S. law enforcement officials.
