County Apprehends Top Child Support Evader

A major victory for the Hidalgo County sheriff's deputies came recently when they apprehended and arrested the most wantedchild support evader in their county. Having racked up more than $28,000 in child support fees, John Baldridge, 56, was discovered after an anonymous tip was given to a Texas Attorney General website. The deputies orchestrated a surveillance operation surrounding his home and, once assured of his identity, arrested Baldridge.

Currently being held at the Hidalgo County Jail, Baldridge will soon be transferred to a facility in Grayson County near Dallas where he will be serve up to 180 days. The last time Baldridge made a payment was five years ago of $22.57 despite a court order in 2001 to pay $408 per month for the care of his three children.
