Lakewood, TX (WBAP/KLIF) – A known ‘high-risk’ sex offender has been ordered by his parole officer to wear an ankle monitor after being confronted by police recently, lurking around elementary schools in the Lakewood area.
42-year old Daniel Gross was spotted near playgrounds close to at least 3 schools. Veronica Olivo told WFAA-TV that she has two children at Mata Elementary — one of the schools involved. Olivo said, “It’s just really scary to know that he was that close to kids on different … 3 different campuses actually.”
Police say Gross does not live in Lakewood and that his registry address in in Oak Cliff. His record includes–among other things–failing to register, and a 2004 conviction for inappropriately touching an Ohio 15-year old.
Police say Gross has been seen in the area since being confronted by officer, but warn residents in other areas to be on the lookout.
