U.S. Marshals Working with Waller County to Locate Escapee

Houston, TX - The U.S. Marshals Gulf Coast Violent Offenders and Fugitive Task Force on Jan. 27 joined the Waller County Sheriff’s Office efforts to search for a man who escaped Jan. 23 from a medical facility in Belleville. 

Salvador Saucedo, a registered sex offender, had been arrested earlier in the day and was undergoing testing at the Mid Coast Medical Center when he escaped.  

Saucedo was previously charged with indecency with a child in March 2024 and with stalking in May 2024 in Brazos County. He is currently charged by Waller County with resisting arrest, escape, assault on a peace officer, fugitive, and possession of a controlled substance.

Saucedo is described as a Hispanic man who has face tattoos, missing front teeth, and brown hair with red highlights. He was last seen wearing a white head wrap, dark colored T-shirt and blue jeans. He should be considered dangerous.

Investigators say Saucedo could be posing as a homeless person needing help or working as a day labor. He is fluent in Spanish and may be able to blend in as a migrant. He may have shaved his hair because he knows the color stands out.

The U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) is offering a reward of up to $5,000 for information leading to Saucedo’s arrest and indictment.

Anyone with information is urged to contact the USMS at 1-877-WANTED2 or send tips via the USMS Tips App.
