A convicted child molestor from Norwalk has been arrested for allegedly holding two women hostage in Cypress.

Cops say someone called 911, but wouldn't talk back to dispatchers. Officers went to the home early Monday to check things out.

When they got there two women ran out saying a man they didn't know had been holding them hostage.

The man turned out to be Louie Herrera, a convicted child molestor. He allegedly got in the home through a window, choked one woman, holding her and her elderly mom in the living room while he had a beer.

Cypress police arrested Herrera. He's scheduled to be in court Wednesday.
