ANOTHER SEX OFFENDER HAS REGISTERED

09/19/2024


John Hyatt

     The Sheriff's Office is notifying the public that a new sex offender has registered with the Sheriff's Office after coming to this jurisdiction.  He indicates he is homeless.

 

NAME:                       JOHN HYATT

 

DATE OF BIRTH:   03/24/1960

 

HOME ADDRESS:   ***HOMELESS***                          

 

     The offender was arrested on 04/29/1999 in Gwinnett County, Georgia for Child Molestation.  He was subsequently convicted of that crime on 04/17/2000.  The offender was sentenced to three years confinement followed by twelve years of probation, and he was required to register as a sex offender.

     This offender has not yet been assigned a Risk Level by Arkansas SOCNA (Sex Offender Community Notification Assessment).

 

     Since the offender indicated he is homeless, he is required to report to the Sheriff's Office in person weekly for a status update and evaluation review.

 

     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.

    Baxter County Sheriff
