Felton was convicted for attempted rape of a child in 2006 and is subject to lifetime supervision. He allegedly pulled off his monitoring device during a struggle with police as they tried to arrest him in January for failing to report to sex offender treatment as required by law. He is wanted for probation violations and theft, as investigators allege he threw away the monitoring device, technically the property of a Texas company.
