Wanted Sex Offender Arrest

A registered sex offender was found and arrested at a residence in the Houston area. On January 13, Texas County Sheriff’s deputies went to a residence on Morton Road in the Houston area to search for Ronald Fleming, age 34, of Houston. Fleming was wanted on multiple felony arrest warrants from Texas County.
A female subject answered the door and allowed deputies to enter the residence to search for Fleming. She denied that Fleming was in the residence.  Deputies located Fleming hiding in a closet behind some clothing and arrested him.
Fleming was arrested for warrants charging him with tampering with a motor vehicle, failure to register as a sex offender, possession of a controlled Substance, resisting arrest and stealing.  The accused was held without bond in the Texas County Jail.
The female, Marie Osborne, age 64, of Houston, was also arrested for hindering prosecution in a felony case and transported to the Texas County Jail. She was placed on a 24-hour hold.  A probable cause statement seeking a formal charge will be submitted to the Texas County Prosecuting Attorney.
