Enslow

A registered sex offender who walked away from the Marshalltown Residential Facility last week has been arrested in Oklahoma on armed robbery charges after allegedly holding up a gas station in Tulsa for money and cigarettes over the weekend.

The Marshalltown Police Department issued a public assistance request for 35-year-old Eric Enslow on Feb. 26, and according to News on 6 in Tulsa, the suspect “pointed a pistol at the clerk, got what he wanted and he ran off” at the QuikTrip near the intersection of Admiral Plaza and Memorial Drive there before he dropped his gun and surrendered once officers caught up to him on Saturday night.

According to the Iowa Sex Offender Registry, Enslow was convicted of third degree sexual abuse and soliciting a lascivious act in Story County in 2008. He pled guilty to voluntary absence from custody in Marshall County back in September, the latest in a long line of parole violations over the last 15 plus years.
