Eddie Wayne Patterson

     The Sheriff’s Office is notifying the public that a Level 3 Sex Offender (high risk to re-offend) has changed addresses and is now residing at a different location in Baxter County.

NAME:                       EDDIE WAYNE PATTERSON               

DATE OF BIRTH:   12/09/1970

OLD ADDRESS:      64 CR 889

                                    Gassville, Arkansas 72635

NEW ADDRESS:  7108 Hwy 126, Lot #14
                               Midway, Arkansas 72651

     The offender was convicted of Sexual Assault in the Second Degree (2 counts) on July 7, 2005.  These offenses involved the offender engaging in sexual contact with an 11 year old female.

     This person is not wanted by law enforcement at this time.  This notification is not intended to increase fear; rather it is our belief that an informed public is a safer public.  This information cannot be used to threaten, intimidate, or harass Registered Sex Offenders.  Citizen abuse will not be tolerated.  Such abuse could potentially end law enforcement’s ability to do community notification.
