We showed you his face last week on Detroit's Most Wanted Criminal, a week later, Corey Webb is now behind bars.
Authorities say Webb's arrest in Inkster was a direct result of a WXYZ viewer tip.
The U.S. Marshals were looking for Webb since he absconded parole in 2015.
“This guy in 2004 committed a sex assault- was charged, convicted, served his time, gets out on parole and takes off,” Deputy U.S. Marshal Aaron Garcia said.
The 36-years-old failed to to register as a sex offender.
“Narcotics and rape are his convictions,” Garcia said.
It’s not just his criminal history the Marshals fear.
“Webb creates a perfect storm because he’s a sex offender already committed these crimes, he has mental issues we believe and he may be using drugs,” Garcia said. “With these combined obviously it’s a perfect storm.”
A second parole absconder featured last week, Kenneth Moore, remains on the lam.
Moore has a violent history of assault and even assaulted a corrections officer while serving time on assault charges.
Moore is 55-years-old, he’s 5’11” tall and 173 pounds.
“This guy is believed to be in Wayne County or Washtenaw County, he has huge ties to Washtenaw County, Ypsilanti area, he may be back and forth from Detroit but this guys been on the run for way too long,” Garcia said.
As always there’s a cash reward for any information leading to the arrest of Kenneth Moore or Corey Webb.
