News
Fugitive sighted in Sun City: A man matching the description of a wanted fugitive was seen in the center of Sun City Tuesday.
Sex offender Kevin Patrick Stoeser is wanted by the FBI for his October escape from a residential home in Del Valle, where he was serving the remainder of a 156-month sentence for four counts of child sexual assault and one count of possession of child pornography. He pled guilty to the charges in 2003.
A resident told Sun City staff that he saw a man that looked like Mr. Stoeser — a 41-year-old white man standing about 5 feet, 9 inches tall and weighing 170 pounds with a tattoo on his forearm of the name “Kayla” — Tuesday afternoon in the parking lot of the community’s Social Center. The resident said the man was offering to fix dings and dents in cars.
