More Info on US Fugitive Captured in Belize

U.S. Marshals successfully apprehended Gregory Roth, a 67-year-old fugitive from San Antonio, Texas, in Belize. Roth was wanted on 11 counts of possession of child pornography, according to the U.S. Marshals Service.

The arrest was part of a coordinated international operation led by the Lone Star Fugitive Task Force (LSFTF), in collaboration with the U.S. Marshals Service Office of International Operations, the U.S. Department of State’s Diplomatic Security Service, and Belizean law enforcement. Roth, who previously held multiple positions in the healthcare sector, was initially arrested in November 2022 and indicted in 2023. He failed to appear for sentencing in December 2024, prompting a bench warrant for his arrest.

In January 2025, the Texas Attorney General’s Office sought the assistance of the LSFTF to locate Roth, who had fled the U.S. in a rented motorhome. Authorities tracked him to Placencia, Belize, where he was apprehended without incident following extensive surveillance. Roth is pending extradition to Bexar County.
