A sexual assault suspect on the FBI’s top 10 fugitives list has been spotted in South Carolina, according to FBI officials. Officials said Greg Alyn Carlson is wanted for his alleged involvement in an armed sexual assault in the Los Angeles area. He should be considered armed and extremely dangerous, officials said. Approximately two weeks ago, the FBI received information of a confirmed sighting of Carlson in the Mount Pleasant area of South Carolina where Carlson has known ties, according to a news release from FBI officials. Based on this information, investigators believe that Carlson is likely still in the southeast area of the United States. Agents have conducted additional investigations in the area but, have not located Carlson. Carlson was seen in a late model white Hyundai Accent which he had been driving on previous occasions, the release said. It said the state and number of the license plate on the vehicle seen by eyewitnesses two weeks ago is unclear, but investigators suspect Carlson may have stolen a plate from another vehicle. In the past Carlson was seen driving a stolen white, four-door, 2017, Hyundai Accent rental car with South Carolina license plate NKI-770. Carlson may be in possession of a stolen pistol, authorities said. They said Carlson had previously lived in Santa Monica and Redondo Beach, California.Carlson uses the aliases Greg A. Carlson and Greg Alym Carlson. Carlson has indicated that he will not return to Los Angeles to face prosecution, officials said. Investigators said they have information suggesting Carlson has worked as an actor in the past. FBI officials said that one July 13, 2017, Carlson allegedly committed a burglary in Los Angeles during which he attempted to sexually assault a woman while using a weapon. A local arrest warrant was issued for Carlson on Sept. 6, 2017, and he was charged with burglary, assault with intent to commit rape and assault with a deadly weapon. He was arrested by the Los Angeles Police Department in September 2017; however, Carlson posted bond and was released. After posting bond, officials said Carlson fled to Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. Investigators believe at some point thereafter Carlson left South Carolina with a stolen handgun, a rental car and a significant amount of cash. Carlson was seen in Hoover, Alabama, on Nov. 22, 2017, where he led police on an erratic, high-speed pursuit that was terminated by the police due to the potential danger to the public, FBI officials said. They said he was later seen in Jacksonville, Florida, on November 28, 2017, and in Daytona Beach, Florida, on Nov. 30, 2017. “While the FBI publicizes hundreds of fugitives at any given time, the List of Ten Most Wanted Fugitives is reserved for a select few who need to be taken off the streets based on their horrible crimes and where widespread publicity can play an important role,” said Paul D. Delacourt, the Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI’s Los Angeles Field Office. “Greg Alyn Carlson joins the notorious Top Ten list because he is considered an enemy to the public and we believe his violence may escalate. My hope is that his photograph will be viewed by many on the Internet, on every phone, in every newspaper and on television sets across the world until he is caught.” Based on their investigation, detectives believe Carlson is likely responsible for additional sexual assaults. Anyone who believes they were victimized by Carlson but did not report it at the time is urged to do so by contacting LAPD Robbery Homicide at (213) 486-6910. “We believe this collaborative effort will lead to the apprehension of Greg Carlson, an individual who has viciously attacked women and threatened the public safety over the past decade,” said Capt. Billy Hayes with the Los Angeles Police Department’s Robbery Homicide Division. After it had been established that Carlson had fled the state of California, LAPD Detectives requested the assistance of the FBI’s Fugitive Task Force in apprehending and returning Carlson to Los Angeles to face prosecution by the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office. On December 12, 2017, a federal arrest warrant was issued by the United States District Court, Central District of California, after Carlson was charged in a criminal complaint with unlawful flight to avoid prosecution. The FBI is offering a reward of up to $100,000 for information leading directly to the arrest of Carlson. Anyone with information concerning Carlson should take no action independently but should immediately contact the nearest FBI office or local law enforcement agency.
