The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) announced that one of the state’s Top 10 Most Wanted, charged with crimes in Southeast Texas, has been captured.
Daniel Ryan Noble, 40, of Groves, was located and arrested Aug. 17 in Lexington, Kentucky, by DPS Criminal Investigation Division, U.S. Marshals Joint East Texas Fugitive Task Force and the U.S. Marshals Central Kentucky Fugitive Task Force, who were working off investigative information.
Noble is charged with four counts of sexual assault of a child, indecency with a child by sexual contact, indecency with a child, burglary of habitation, obstruction or retaliation, and driving while intoxicated.
In 2003, Noble was convicted of burglary of habitation and subsequently received five years’ probation. In April 2022, he was arrested by the Groves Police Department and charged with indecency with a child by sexual contact, but subsequently bonded out.
Noble had been wanted since February 2023 when warrants were issued out of Jefferson County for his arrest for the four counts of child sexual assault of a child, indecency with a child and DWI.
