MANSFIELD—Wednesday the Texas Department of Public Safety added Dakota Marcus Stewart, 26, to the Texas 10 Most Wanted Sex Offenders list.
A cash reward of up to $5,000 is now being offered for information leading to his capture. Stewart, a high-risk sex offender, is wanted for failure to register as a sex offender. All tips are guaranteed to be anonymous.
Law enforcement officials remind residents hoping to cash in on the reward, “Do not attempt to apprehend these fugitives; they are considered armed and dangerous.”
Stewart has ties to Dallas and Tarrant County, specifically Dallas, Arlington and Fort Worth. His last known was 430 Turner Warnell Road, in the city of Mansfield, Texas.
In 2009, Stewart was convicted of aggravated sexual assault of a child and indecency with a child by exposure. Both incidents took place in Tarrant County involving an 11-year-old girl and a 9-year-old girl.
He subsequently was sentenced to 5 years in TDCJ prison. On August 2, 2017, the Mansfield Police Department issued two warrants for Stewart’s arrest for Failure to Register as a Sex Offender. An additional warrant was also issued in Dallas County for Failure to Comply with Sex Offender Registration Requirements.
Stewart is 6 feet tall and weighs approximately 175 pounds. He has a tattoo on his left wrist and scars on his left hand, back, and face. Stewart is known to provide false and fictitious information, including different names.
In the past he has gone by the aliases: Kody Stewart, Bleax Lamarcus Stewart, Demetrius Rasputin, Dmitri Steward, Jeremy Todds and Dakota Markus Stewart
How To Submit A Tip
