The Baxter County Sheriff’s Office is notifying the public a new sex offender has registered with the department after moving from Tennessee.
Sheriff John Montgomery says 59-year-old Timothy Swift has moved to 4306 U.S. Highway 62/412 East in Mountain Home.
Swift has not yet been assigned a risk level yet by the Sex Offender Community Notification Assessment (SOCNA).
Swift was found guilty of aggravated criminal sexual abuse in 1997 in Kane County, Illinois. He was sentenced to 18 months imprisonment followed by 24 months probation and a fine. Documents show his offense involved a victim between the ages of 13 and 16.
Swift is not wanted by law enforcement at this time. This notification is not intended to increase fear; rather it is the sheriff’s belief 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 provide community notification.
