Following his arrest and subsequent escape in Bellville, warrants were issued out of Waller County for escape while arrested, assault on a peace officer, possession of a controlled substance, failure to identify as a fugitive and resisting arrest. 

A warrant was also issued out of Brazos County for failure to comply with sex offender registration requirements.  Saucedo was convicted in August 2022 for indecency with a child by sexual contact after an incident involving an 11-year-old girl.  He was sentenced to 10 years’ probation. 

Saucedo is a Hispanic male who is 5’11” and 190 pounds.  He has tattoos on his face, neck, chest, arms and legs.  DPS says he should be considered armed and dangerous.
