© Brevard County Sheriff's OfficeDavid White, 51, of Malabar was taken into custody in Texas after being taken in on a warrant for an arrest relating to lewd and lascivious molestation.
David Wayne White, 51, was wanted on an active warrant. He was trying to flee to Mexico to avoid being taken into custody, deputies said.
The sheriff's office's GAMEOVER Task Force had agents assigned to the U.S. Marshal Service who had been tracking White.
The investigation began in February after a juvenile reported the suspect had engaged in activities that were inappropriate when they spent the night at his residence.
White has served as a long-time coach with the Palm Bay Youth Basketball League and deputies said he would frequently host sleepovers for both team members and friends of his children.
The sheriff's office is concerned that there may be other victims that haven't been identified.
"The GameOver Task Force and U.S Marshal Service are incredible resources for Brevard County and through their efforts, the worst of the worst are tracked down and arrested to prevent further victimization of our citizens," said Sheriff Wayne Ivey in a release.
White is currently being held in a Texas jail on $750,000 bond and is awaiting transport back to Brevard.
