Conroe, TX – A 67-year-old man wanted in Montgomery County was arrested Tuesday after authorities said he failed to register as a sex offender.
According to the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office, David Allen Collins was taken into custody on September 9 by SWAT operators working alongside the United States Marshals Service Fugitive Task Force.

Sheriff’s officials said the operation reflected a long-standing partnership between local deputies and federal agents. “This successful arrest also reflects a decade of strong partnership with the United States Marshals Service, working side by side to ensure fugitives are brought to justice and our communities remain safe,” the department stated in its release.
Authorities commended the precision and professionalism of their SWAT operators, saying the unit worked carefully to bring Collins into custody while minimizing risks to the public.
