Ft Bend Child snatcher at large

ABC13 Local reported yesterday that the police have captured one of the men, Derwin Williams, who allegedly tried to lure a young boy into his truck.

Sugar Land police announced the arrest Thursday morning. The man reportedly involved in the attempted abduction a couple of days ago is Derwin Williams, 42. Police say he was arrested just after 5pm Wednesday on attempted kidnapping charges. He's out on bond.

Authorities say he approached a 13-year-old boy in the Covington Wood Greenbriar area. He allegedly tried to get that teen into his truck. Sugar Land's police chief explains how the suspect was caught.

"A community member that saw a white truck on 7th Street, close to the Fort Bend Baptist Academy, took down the license plate of that truck," said Chief Steve Griffith.

Williams was then located and apprehended. Authorities say this is one of three abduction attempts that the Sugar Land Police Department is currently investigating.

Fort Bend law enforcement agencies met to look over what appears to be rash of kidnap attempts in recent days. The department has received nine reports in all. Three of those have been determined to be criminal acts. Most alarmingly, police say that in each of these cases that each of these suspects is a different person.


Yep they arrested him and then promptly let him go. And did you get that part at the end? As I reported on Wednesday, there is evidently more than one black guy trying to snacth youngsters. Now they are saying they are looking for at least three different perps.
