Personnel from the United States Marshals are looking in the Guadalajara-Lakeside area for a fugitive listed among their 15 “most wanted.”

Paul Herman Clouston, a fugitive from U.S. justice, is believed to have been seen in the Guadalajara/Lake Chapala areas in the past 12 months.

Clouston, who uses the aliases of Herman Lee Anthony, Michael Paul Drago, Charles Eugene Randolph, William Joseph Long, Herman Lee Roberts, Herman Lee Williams and about 20 others, is believed to have been seen in the Guadalajara area in the past 12 months.  He has a long relationship with the area since the 1960s, when he escaped from prison and fled to Lake Chapala. He apparently lived in Chapala or San Juan Cosala for several years and speaks fluent Spanish.

Since then, Clouston was convicted on second-degree murder charges for killing a police officer in Buena Park, California. Released from prison in 1982, he was indicted on 17 counts of sexually abusing children in the Williamsburg, Virginia area in 1991. He pled guilty to seven of the 17 charges he faced and was sent to prison again. He was released on parole in 2005.

The U.S Marshals consider Clouston to be armed and dangerous. Anyone with information as to his location is asked to contact their nearest U.S. Marshals Service office or, in the case of those living in Mexico, e-mail This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it or call American Services at the United States Consulate in Guadalajara, (33) 3268-2200.
