Temple deputies were advised of a parolee that removed his GPS ankle monitor. The male was previously convicted of lewd and lascivious acts with a minor and sentenced to 40 years in state prison. He was released on parole after serving 20 years. Within a couple of weeks of being released, he removed his GPS ankle monitor to elude law enforcement.
Deputy Orejel, who handles sex offender registrations at Temple station, was alerted about the GPS removal. He immediately recognized the suspect's name as someone he contacted previously. Through his investigation, the deputy was able to locate the suspect and arrested him for the parole violation without incident.
