US Marshals Service agents have successfully tracked down and arrested a former NFL player sought in connection with the suspicious disappearance of his 29-year-old girlfriend.
Kevin Ware Jr. was apprehended at a Spring, Texas strip mall at around 1:30 p.m. Friday. He had also been wanted for violating his bond.
“Apparently a lot of people were very scared of this guy,” Dep. Marshal Alfredo Perez said.
“I don’t know if they were scared of him because they heard the girlfriend was missing.”
Taylor Pomaski, Ware’s girlfriend, vanished on April 25 following a house party at her Spring residence.
Police said that her disappearance was “under very suspicious circumstances and may be the victim of foul play.”
The Harris County Sheriff’s Office has since been turned over to the homicide unit.
Ware played for the Washington Football Team and the San Francisco 49ers in 2003 and 2004.
He was arrested last April on drug charges and released on bond but failed to show up for supervision, authorities said.
