Baxter County Sheriff John Montgomery is notifying the public of a level three registered sex offender, considered at a high risk to re-offend, has moved to a new location in Baxter County. According to the sheriff, 35-year-old Anthony Tompkins has moved from 49 Pioneer Trail Drive in Mountain Home and is now living at 62 Sweet Fern Lane in Midway.
Montgomery says Tompkins was convicted of sexual assault of two female children, ages nine and 11, in 2002. He says the offenses occurred while Tompkins and the victims were living in the same home.
The sheriff says Anthony Tompkins is not wanted by law enforcement at this time. This notification is not intended to increase fear, but rather it is his belief that an informed public is a safer public. This information cannot be used to threaten, intimidate or harass registered sex offenders, says the sheriff, and citizen abuse will not be tolerated. Such abuse could potentially end law enforcement's ability to do community notifications.
