According to Deputy U.S. Marshal Brent Sheets, their charges range from homicide to burglary to sexual assault of children.

Here is a list of the more significant arrests:

Ector County:

Willis, Timothy - age 50

Sheets said they use everything from criminal databases to Facebook to track fugitives down.

"We use a lot of different tools and techniques, some of them I can't talk about," Sheets said. "[It can be] just as simple as Google searching yourself, you will find information you didn't know was out there about yourself."
