A man with a known history of child sex crimes and animal abuse freed himself from his ankle monitor and escaped house arrest. He is currently on the run, as of this reporting, with a manhunt underway.

David Williford was recently sentenced to home arrest for a charge involving incest. He was last seen in West Seattle’s North Admiral neighborhood on May 5.

“He needs to be scooped up quickly before he does a last hurrah or before he knows people are looking for him,” Jim Fuda, the executive director of Crime Stoppers of Puget Sound, told . “When he cut that ankle bracelet off, he knew people would be looking for him.”

Williford’s charges in 2015

Williford has a long track record of heinous crimes. Ten years ago, he was charged with child rape and child molestation while simultaneously facing six counts of animal abuse. According to prosecutors, Williford methodically tortured animals for entertainment.

Last month, Williford was sentenced to home arrest and ordered to stay with his mother. He removed his ankle monitor less than a week later and fled the scene before responding authorities could get to the residence.
