The U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) is looking for a convicted sex offender from west central West Virginia.
Marshals said Gabriel Allen Hargus, 46, of Mineral Wells, violated his parole and is believed to be outside the state.
Hargus was convicted in February 2011 in Kanawha County Circuit Court on child pornography charges and sexual abuse of a 13-year-old girl, according to USMS. After his 2011 conviction, he was sentenced to two years behind bars, 30 years extended supervision and lifetime registration as a sex offender.
Hargus is wanted on warrants for three counts of second offense failure to register as a sex offender and a parole violation.
USMS said Hargus could be driving a 2016 silver Ford Focus with West Virginia plate N3R908.
State troopers say Hargus knows he is wanted.
Anyone with information about Hargus’s whereabouts is asked to call the USMS tip line at 1-877-926-8332 or the USMC Southern District of West Virginia at 304-347-5136.
