| Sex Offender Charged for Notification Violation |
| |
 |
Burke County
detectives say that convicted sex offender John Henry Taylor failed to advise
them of an address change as required by law.
The investigators tagged
him Friday with one extra change of address; the Burke Catawba District
Confinement Facility.
Taylor (left), 58,
was arrested in Lenoir and returned to Burke County, where a warrant for
failing to register his change of address was served. |
|
| Taylor was reportedly living at 1407 Marriman
Street, Lenoir, but never shared that information with authorities, who had
been looking for him for several weeks. |
| |
| According to the N.C. Department of Corrections
website, Taylor spent over seven years in prison after being convicted in
August,1997 for a second degree sexual offense. |
| |
| "Knowing where convicted sexual offenders are
living is of the utmost importance to the community," said Burke County Sheriff
John T. McDevitt. "We won't hesitate to prosecute an offender for this type of
violation." |
| |
| Taylor was jailed under a $50,000 bond and will
have a first court appearance today. |
