Texas fugitive wanted for sexual assault of a child found in Whitestown

WHITESTOWN - A fugitive from Texas wanted for aggravated sexual assault of a child, has been located in Whitestown, according to the Oneida County's Sheriff's Department.

Information was developed by investigators of the Oneida County Sheriff's Office and New York State Police Violent Felony Warrants Unit assigned to the New York/New Jersey Regional Task Force that led them to believe Thomas F. Talerico, 42, might be located at his mother's residence on Henderson Street in Whitestown.

Task Force members located Talerico there and he was taken into custody without incident. He was arraigned In Whitesboro Village Court as a Fugitive from Justice, and was remanded to the Oneida County Jail without bail.

Talerico will have an extradition hearing in Oneida County Court at a later time.

Do people realize how serious of a crime this is? This man is potentially a predator; I'm glad he is being extradited back to Texas to be tried. He needs to be off the streets of our community! Good Riddance!!!!

Good thing he isn't going to court up here. All he'd get is a slap on the hand and be told not to do it again.

I was born and raised in Whitesboro and still live in the village. I think they should give this guy the max. Don't come to our small town and try to hide, or like the Lennon's theft...go back to the big cities and don't bring your crime here!!!

I would love to know how long this individual has been located in the Whitestown area. So close to an elementary school. We need to have more time and effort spent to pick up people that might be in our area.
