The Baxter County Sheriff’s Office is notifying the public a sex offender is again residing in Baxter County.According to Sheriff John Montgomery, 64-year-old John Hyatt is listed as homeless.Hyatt was convicted of child molestation in April of 2000 in Gwinnett County, Georgia. He was sentenced to three years confinement followed by twelve years of probation and he was required to register as a sex offender.
Hyatt has not yet been assigned a risk level by the Sex Offender Community Notification Assessment
Due to Hyatt registering as homeless, he is required to report to the Sheriff’s Office in person, weekly, for a status update and evaluation review.
Hyatt 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 do community notification.
