James Anthony Rubio: One of the State's 10 Most Wanted Sex Offenders Caught in Bandera

James Anthony Rubio, BUSTED!

One down, nine to go. The Texas Department of Public Safety announced that it has captured James Anthony Rubio, one of the state's 10 most wanted sex offenders, on Monday in Bandera as the result of a tip that paid $5,000 to the tipster. Rubio, 55, is the first on the state's list to be caught in 2013.

Rubio is considered to be a sexually violent sex offender, and was discharged from prison in April 2012 after serving 20 years for sexual assault. On September 30, he cut off the ankle monitor the state used to track him and fled a halfway house in Del Valle. When found in Bandera, he attempted to run by jumping from a window, but he was caught by officers from the Bandera County Sheriff's Office and the U.S. Marshals Service.

Rubio had outstanding warrants for Failure to Register as a Sex Offender, Failure to Comply with Sex Offender Civil Commitment requirements and a federal warrant for Sex Offense. His history includes aggravated sexual assault, rape, attempted rape and terroristic threat. He sounds like a real swell guy.

There are still more on the state's most wanted list. For more information and to assist in the capture of one of these really gross dudes, visit the TDPS Web site. And if you know the whereabouts or have information about someone on the list, text "DPS plus your tip" to 274637 (CRIMES) or call 1-800-252-TIPS (8477) - 24 hours a day.

The sad thing is it's actually one down and ten to go because number eleven just got moved up.

He needs to be slowly castrated with an old rusty butter knife.

You should go bond him out. He could stay at your house in the meantime.

@No_PC_BS @dunstan Why so testy all of a sudden? I remember you as being so happy. We used to joke in the office that you would actually GRIN when an order for mops came over the fax machine. I mean who grins anymore, right.

@dunstan I've stated this multiple times, but since you obviously can't read plain English, I will type it for you one last time. I have never had, nor have I been associated with, any janitorial, cleaning, trash, or hauling businesses. Ever. You are 100% wrong. Not right. Incorrect. Spreading lies.

If you fancy yourself an internet detective and can track down posters on messageboards, I would suggest you get into a new line of work since you suck so bad at it. Give it up, loser.

@No_PC_BS @Hillary263 Think Hillary above was referring to your classroom cleaning and car sanitizing business. Personally, I'm lost between your janitorial stuff, and your trash hauling business and window washing deals. USA1, word of advice: if you don't want this stuff following you under all the different handles you use to post stuff, just stop your advertising.

@Hillary263 Why would I offer to clean anything ever? Do you always believe everything you read from anonymous posters on the internet? What a gullible fool you must be if you do.
