Wanted sex offender who lived in Houston-area captured in LA

Friday, February 23, 2007

A wanted child predator is now behind bars. He lived and worked in the Houston area for a while before fleeing again.

Authorities arrested David John Sprong Junior last night near Baton Rouge, where he had been working at a car repair shop for the last three weeks. Sprong was featured on "America's Most Wanted" a few weeks ago.

Sprong is a convicted sex offender from California and had been on the run with his girlfriend and 10-year-old daughter for almost a year. The FBI says the trio once lived in Humble and spent some time in the Baytown area earlier this month.

He's being held without bond, and faces additional molestation charges.
