Joseph Comeaux Jr., 49...escaped Texas child molester

A convicted sexual predator escaped from custody Monday morning in the Baytown area after holding two transport officers hostage, officials with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice said.

The AP is reporting that the Texas Department of Criminal Justice has confirmed officials are searching for Arcade Joseph Comeaux Jr., 49. The TDCJ says he took two transport officers hostage Monday morning before fleeing the vehicle on foot in the Baytown area.

A statement released by the TDCJ says Arcade Joseph Comeaux Jr., 49, was being transported from the Estelle Unit in Huntsville to the Stiles Unit in Beaumont when he brandished a firearm and directed the officers to stop the vehicle. He took the officers’ weapons and apparently handcuffed them together in the back of the transport vehicle before fleeing.

The inmate, Arcade Joseph Comeaux Jr., 49, should be considered armed and dangerous.

Comeaux last was seen wearing the uniform and black boots. He was described as black, 6 feet tall, and weighing 200 pounds.

The escape happened near the intersection of Lee Drive, Texas Avenue and Market Street, near Lee College. A command post has been set up nearby to coordinate a massive search.

Comeaux is serving a life sentence for indecency with a child in Harris County, aggravated sexual assault in Brazos County and two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in Fort Bend County.

The officers were located by law enforcement officers at approximately 10 a.m. and were unharmed.

Anyone with information on his whereabouts is urged to call 911 immediately.

Lets find this serial child molester, and put him back behind bars before he sodomizes another innocent victim.
