Two warrants have been issued for the arrest of a Clinton man.

According to court records 25-year-old Eric Watson Junior was first charged in 2017 for knowingly concealing stolen property and again in 2020 for lewd or indecent acts to a child under 16 years old.

At the time, the child was 13-year-old when the charge was levied against him in Custer County District Court.

Court records show that Watson received a 15-year sentence with 10 years suspended and five years of probation in 2017 for the first charge, and was suppose to appear before a judge last August for sentencing on violating his probation – but failed to appear. He was also scheduled to appear in court in August for a pre-trial hearing but never showed.

Court records also reveal that the wanted man has had a history of felony charges levied against him, dating back to 2015. Those charges included another count of knowingly concealing stolen property, second degree burglary, and possession of a controlled substance in the presence of a minor or within 1,000 feet of a school or park.

Bond for the lewd or indecent acts warrant was set at $40,000.

As of press time Watson has not been apprehended. However, Clinton police believe Watson is still in the area and ask if anyone knows his whereabouts to contact authorities.
