HOUSTON \u2013 A Harris County man is facing a felony charge after investigators determined he was living in Texas City instead of the southeast Houston address listed on his sex offender registration, authorities said.<\/p>\n

Alonzo Longoria, 67, was arrested by Harris County Precinct 1 constables and Texas City police and charged with failure to register as a sex offender. The charge is a third-degree felony punishable by two to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.<\/p>\n

The investigation traces back to July, when Precinct 1 detectives served an Internet Crimes Against Children search warrant at a home in the 500 block of Gilpin Street. During the search, investigators found a tightly wound bundle of fireworks that initially appeared to be an explosive device<\/a>. The Harris County Sheriff\u2019s Office Bomb Squad responded and safely secured the item.<\/p>\n

Authorities said the home was also connected to the arrest of Justin Hogue, 36, who was charged with three counts of first-degree felony possession of child pornography. Investigators said more than 550 images and videos were found at the residence. Hogue\u2019s case remains pending.<\/p>\n

According to Constable Alan Rosen, Longoria owned the Gilpin Street home, where relatives lived, but detectives believe he maintained a bedroom there to make it appear he resided at the address. Investigators said Longoria was actually living at a home in Texas City.<\/p>\n

Longoria is required to register as a sex offender for life after pleading guilty to sexually assaulting a Houston woman in 2000. He was sentenced to eight years in prison.<\/p>\n

His address has since been corrected in the Texas Sex Offender Registry, maintained by the Texas Department of Public Safety.<\/p>\n
