Sells has been wanted since May 2013 for aggravated sexual assault of a child and indecency with a child by contact. His last known address was in Amarillo, where he also has ties to the area. It was in Amarillo that Sells allegedly sexually assaulted two girls younger than 14.
The Texas 10 Most Wanted Program has featured Sells in hopes that the higher reward money will generate additional tips. The higher reward amount will only be paid if the tip comes in the month of July.
Sells is 5 feet 9 inches tall, weighs approximately 165 pounds and has a tattoo of a heart with a banner on his chest. He also has a mole on his right cheek and scars on his left arm and right hand.
To be eligible for the cash rewards, tipsters must provide information to authorities using one of the five following methods:
- Call the Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-252-TIPS (8477).
- Text the letters DPS – followed by your tip – to 274637 (CRIMES) from your cell phone.
- Submit a web tip through the DPS website by selecting the fugitive you have information about, and then clicking on the link under their picture.
- Submit a tip through the DPS Mobile App. The app is currently available for iPhone users on the Apple App Store and for Android users on Google Play.
All tips are anonymous – regardless of how they are submitted, and tipsters will be provided a tip number instead of using a name.
