Pitt County sex offender arrested for multiple violations
GREENVILLE, N.C. (WNCT) — 38-year-old D'Mario Jujuan Williams was arrested by officers from the Pitt County Sherrif's Office for sex offender crimes on Tuesday. On September 16, 2024, Detectives with the Pitt County Sheriff's Office Major Crimes Unit began an investigation regarding possible violations committed by a registered sex offender. The investigation revealed Williams (who was registered as homeless) had violated legal provisions of the Sex Offender Registry. On April 30, a warrant was obtained, charging Williams with failure to register as a sex offender as he was not living at the location that was listed in the registry. Another warrant was obtained for living unlawfully on premises due to being too close to a playground at an apartment complex. On May 22, Williams was located and arrested. He was booked into the Pitt County Detention Center, where he was originally denied bond due to currently being out of jail on bond for other charges. A subsequent court hearing resulted in Williams receiving a $50,000 secured bond but remains in custody. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Registered sex offender, career criminal charged with trespass after invading home with Abilene family inside
ABILENE, Texas () – An Abilene woman is outraged after a registered sex offender and career criminal was only charged criminal trespass after invading her home while her children were inside. Samuel Seballos was arrested following the incident at a home on the 800 block of Kirkwood Drive around 2:00 a.m. Saturday morning. A resident in the neighborhood, who only wants to be identified as Elizabeth due to safety concerns, says that her stepson found Seballos inside their home uninvited while her three daughters were sleeping. She says her stepson left the door open while he was moving stuff in and out when he noticed someone he thought was his father standing inside. However, the man didn't answer him, and when he turned on the lights, he saw it wasn't his father but a stranger, later identified as Seballos, who refused to say anything or leave until the stepson got a firearm and chased him outside. Seballos was then arrested at Cobb Park across the street and booked into the Taylor County Jail for Criminal Trespass and Public Intoxication. This arrest comes just one week after Seballos was released from the Taylor County Jail for another Criminal Trespassing incident at an Abilene motel, and prior to that, he is accused of trespassing at Abilene's Salvation Army in February. Seballos has an extensive criminal history in Taylor County. He has been booked into and released from the Taylor County Jail 15 times since 2002 for the following charges: Indecency with Child (12/03/2002 – 12/04/2002) Theft $1,500<$20K (07/28/2003 – 07/28/2003) Disorderly Conduct, Possession of Drug Paraphernalia (09/26/2003-09/27/2003) Indecency with Child [Surety Withdraw], Theft [Surety Withdraw] Failure to Comply with Sex Offender Registration (06/11/2009-07/17/2009) Theft (03/09/2010-03/09/2010) Drive without Valid Driver License, Failure to Maintain Financial Responsibility, Failure to Comply with Sex Offender Registry [Surety Withdraw] (05/27/2010-07/12/2010) Assault Family Violence, Unlawful Restraint, Indecent Exposure (05/04/2016-05/05/2016) Assault Family Violence [Surety Withdraw], Unlawful Restraint [Surety Withdraw], Indecent Exposure [Surety Withdraw] (09/09/2016-09/20/2016) Unlawful Restrain [Violation of Probation], Assault Family Violence [Violation of Probation], Indecent Exposure [Violation of Probation], Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, Robbery, Forgery (02/10/2017-07/18/2018) Failure to Register As Sex Offender [2 counts], Retaliation (12/12/2018-08/26/2019) Criminal Trespass (02/20/2025-03/03/2025) Criminal Trespass (04/17/2025-05/03/2025) Public Intoxication (05/07/2025-05/08/2025) Criminal Trespass, Public Intoxication (05/10/2025) The Texas Department of Public Safety's Sex Offender Registry shows Seballos was convicted of Indecency with a Child in 2004 for the sexual assault of a 7-year-old victim. He is listed on the registry as transient who was most recently verified to be in Abilene in March. When asked why Seballos was only charged with Criminal Trespass, the Abilene Police Department said, 'trespassing is going onto a property and it was posted No Trespassing, or he was told to leave and refused to leave, or he'd been previously warned and still went onto the property. Burglary is entering into a place/property and staying there without the consent of the property owner with the intent to commit a felony.'
