AUSTIN The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) has captured another fugitive from Texas’ 10 Most Wanted Criminal Illegal Immigrants List – this time in Round Rock. A Crime Stoppers reward will not be paid in this arrest.
According to a DPS news release, Fabian Martinez Toribio, 25, a criminal illegal immigrant from Mexico, was wanted out of Travis County for aggravated sexual assault of a child and possession of a controlled substance. He was taken into custody on Wednesday by DPS Special Agents and the U.S. Marshals Lone Star Fugitive Task Force and booked into the Williamson County Jail. Martinez Toribio’s arrest was a result of investigative efforts and a series of leads by DPS Special Agents assigned to his case.
Martinez Toribio was arrested and convicted of entry without inspection in April 2018 and was subsequently removed from the United States. In Oct. 2023, he was arrested by the Manor Police Department for resisting arrest/search and possession of a controlled substance and bonded out of jail. In Jan. 2024, the Austin Police Department issued a warrant for his arrest for aggravated sexual assault of a child. Additionally, in Feb. 2024, a warrant was issued out of Travis County for his arrest for possession of a controlled substance. For more information, view Martinez Toribio’s captured bulletin here.
