APPLETON, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — A convicted sex offender being sought by Appleton police has been arrested in Texas.
Authorities say U.S. Marshals arrested Paul Schmidt Friday morning in Lubbock. The arrest was the result of several weeks of coordinated efforts between Appleton police and federal officials.
The Wisconsin Department of Corrections had a warrant out for Schmidt’s arrest for absconding probation.
Schmidt is currently on supervision for a 2004 conviction on two counts of first-degree sexual assault of a child.
