A convicted sex offender is being sought by law enforcement after failing to return to a halfway house in far East El Paso County.
John Oliver McMickings, 37, absconded May 18 from the El Paso Multi-Use Facility at 1700 Horizon Blvd. near Horizon City, El Paso County Sheriff’s Office officials said.
McMickings left the halfway house to go to work but failed to return, officials said. He was last seen driving a red Ford Mustang.
He is now wanted on a parole violation due to violating its terms in a conviction of sexual assault of a child. An additional charge of sex offender s duty to register also is expected to be filed against him, officials said.
