CrimeFighters Manhunt: Mark Nelson

SAN DIEGO (CBS 8) - The News 8 CrimeFighters are helping in a countywide manhunt looking for a convict on the run who's been seen all over the county.

Mark Nelson, 49, is wanted by state parole agents for violating the terms of his release. He was released from prison less than two weeks ago, and hasn't reported to his parole agent as instructed.

Nelson has an extensive criminal history that includes lewd and lascivious acts with a child under 14, failure to register as a sex offender and making terrorist threats. He was released from Donovan State Prison on July 16.

He is a white male, 5 feet 10 inches tall with a medium build, dark brown graying hair and blue eyes. He's known to change up his appearance, but has a large mole under his left eye. He's a transient known to hang out everywhere from Del Mar to downtown to Spring Valley.

If you have any information that can help, call San Diego Crime Stoppers at (888) 580-TIPS. If you see this fugitive, don't approach him. Instead, call police.

As always Crime Stoppers is offering a reward for information that leads to an arrest. You are eligible even if you want to stay anonymous.
