Phoenix, AZ
– On October 16, 2007, United States Marshals Service (USMS)
Deputies hunted down an alleged child molester. Undre Demon
Stewart, 23 years old, was wanted by the Tyler Police Department in
Tyler, TX for three (3) counts of Aggravated Sexual Assault of a
Child. Deputy U.S. Marshals in Phoenix received information from
Deputy U.S. Marshals in Tyler, TX alerting them that Stewart was in
the Phoenix Area. After a brief surveillance Deputies located
Stewart in an apartment at 44th Street and Ray Rd, at which time
Stewart was arrested. Stewart was booked into the Maricopa County
Jail and is awaiting extradition back to Tyler, TX.
On September 27, 2007 The United States Marshals Service and the
Tyler Police Department initiated a joint investigation in an
attempt to locate and arrest Stewart. Numerous leads were developed
throughout the investigation that indicated that Stewart had
traveled from Texas to Oklahoma on to Colorado and finally to
Arizona where he was arrested.
United States Marshal David Gonzales praised the work of Deputies
and law enforcement officers adding, “The United States Marshals
Service will waste no time in going after these predators that prey
on children, and continue to make it one of our highest priorities.”
