The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued a warrant for the arrest of a sex offender who has lived in Beaumont, Lufkin and Nacogdoches, the department said in a release.
Troy James Allison, 64, is wanted for failure to comply with his supervision. He was convicted of aggravated sexual assault in 1978, according to the Texas Sex Offender Registry.
Allison was originally arrested after he confronted a 22-year-old female at a Houston apartment complex in 1977, struck her in the head with a revolver and abducted her to another location where he raped her at gunpoint, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety’s Top 10 Most Wanted List.
Texas DPS also said that Allison was also convicted of assault in 1973 and indecency with a child in 1976.
He was sentenced to serve 75 years, but he was paroled in 2003 and has been wanted since 2004. He was last seen in the Lufkin area and has family in Houston and Conroe.
Previously, Allison worked as a pipe fitter, welder and meat cutter, in addition to serving in the Marine Corps.
He has tattoos of the letters USMC and ZAN on the outside of his upper right arm.
Allison is currently wanted by the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles for violating the conditions of his parole and by the Lufkin Police Department for failing to register as a sex offender.
He should be considered armed and dangerous, Texas DPS said.
