Freed sex offender with 10 felonies allegedly kidnaps woman after being freed from jail on low bond

Sex offender with 10 felonies allegedly kidnaps woman

A 40-year-old registered sex offender with ten felony convictions was free from jail on a bond for less than a month when police say he kidnaped a woman.

HARRIS COUNTY, Texas - Based on his criminal history, it wasn't a question of whether Arcade Comeaux get charged with another felony, but when.

His most recent criminal charge came after being free from jail for just 25 days.

The backstory:

Most of Comeaux's felonies are violent, including aggravated sexual assault of a child.

He must register as a sex offender for the rest of his life.

In April, he's charged with arson.

"Allegedly he tried to burn his own house down with himself in it," said Andy Kahan with Crime Stoppers.

Being a registered sex offender for life and having a history of committing violent crimes, you would think Comeaux would be jailed under a six-figure bond.

Magistrate/Hearing Officer Sharon Shue set Comeaux's bond at just $1,000.

25 days after his low bond was set, Comeaux kidnapped a woman, according to police.

Now, he is jailed with no bond set.

The governor is expected to sign a bill into law that come September would prohibit magistrates from setting bond amounts for violent felony charges.
