The search is on for a man accused of endangering three young girls.

fugitive_080819.jpgThe ordeal began when a Harris County Sheriff's deputy, who was working an extra job, walked to an apartment in the 2400 block of Bammelwood.

A man identified as Ricky Lynn Moffett reportedly opened the door and that's when, deputies say, the officer smelled burnt marijuana coming from inside the home.

The deputy said he asked Moffett to identify himself, but Moffett slammed and locked the door.

Moffett reportedly fled through a window while the deputy called for back-up.

Eventually, the children inside opened the door.

Deputies say that the children were inside the home alone, but otherwise they were OK.

Once inside, deputies say they observed marijuana residue and other narcotics-related instruments throughout the apartment.

Ricky Lynn Moffett was charged with three counts of endangering a child.

He's believed to be in the Houston area.

He should just as well turn himself in. He will probably only get a slap in the wrist anyway.
