William James Gauld

     The Sheriff's Office is notifying the public that a level 3 sex offender (high risk to re-offend) has now registered with the Baxter County Sheriff's Office after moving here from Texas.

NAME:                       WILLIAM JAMES GAULD

DATE OF BIRTH:   05/25/1981

HOME ADDRESS:   7 Valley View Place

                                    Salesville, AR 72653

     The offender's most recent conviction was for Criminal Sexual Conduct in the Second Degree on 06/02/1998.  This offense involved the offender engaging in sexual activity with a 7 year old male.

     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.   

     /s/ John F. Montgomery,
    Baxter County Sheriff
