Montague County Sheriff Marshall Thomas said the first tip on the possible location for Jerry Alan Neiss, 37, Bowie, came in on Feb. 8. Neiss was wanted on two warrants for failure to appear on a complaint of failure to comply with sex offender registration and one for failure to register as a sex offender.
The first two are third-degree felonies and the third one is a second-degree felony. He was placed on the state list the morning of Feb. 13. Bonds totaled $55,000 on these three warrants and as of Friday he remained in county jail.
