A registered sex offender has relocated to Baxter County from Texas. According to Baxter County Sheriff John Montgomery, 64-year-old Michael Edrington is residing 5837 Arkansas Highway 178 West, Unit No. 5 in Lakeview.
Edrington has not been assigned a risk level by the Sex Offender Community Notification Assessment. He was originally arrested in December 2013 in Robinson, Texas, for sexual abuse of a child victim under 14 years of age, aggravated sexual assault of a child and indecency with a child involving sexual contact. Following an appeal, Edrington was convicted in February 2016 of two counts of indecency with a child involving sexual contact. He was registered as a sex offender in Texas before moving to Arkansas.
Edrington is currently not wanted by law enforcement. 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 do community notification.
