Narrative:
Aircraft taxiing to runway 27R instructed to cross runway 31 at taxiway F (approach end) instead of crossing at the approach end. The aircraft crossed at taxiway H which intersects with runway 27R. I stopped the aircraft short of runway 27R until the arrival passed the intersection; crossed the king air over runway 27R and taxied him to the end. Had asde been available; I could have seen the aircraft turn at taxiway H and caught it sooner. Because of the ht of this tower; all of taxiway F is not visible this happens often at night.
