Houston, TX – Two fugitives listed among Texas’ 10 Most Wanted Sex Offenders are back in custody following separate arrests earlier this month, authorities confirmed.
According to the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS), Derrick Van Flowers was captured in Houston after investigators with the Texas Anti-Gang (TAG) Violent Crimes Squad used leads to track him down. Texas Highway Patrol Troopers conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle Flowers was driving, taking him into custody without incident.
Meanwhile, DPS Special Agents coordinated with the Lake Charles Police Department in Louisiana to locate Spencer Mandell Giron. That coordination led to a traffic stop conducted by the Calcasieu Parish Sheriff’s Office, where Giron was arrested and taken into custody.
Both men had been wanted for allegedly failing to comply with sex offender registration requirements, according to DPS. Officials said their arrests resulted from collaborative efforts between state and local law enforcement agencies.
