The Marion County Sheriff’s Office is notifying the public that a Registered Sex Offender from Florida, has recently moved from Mississippi and now resides in rural Yellville. 

Name:  William Parker Hays

Date of Birth:  10/30/1950

Home Address:  3598 MC 8050, Yellville, AR 72687

Documentation indicates this offender was convicted in the state of Florida in 2007 for Lewd Lascivious Molestation by a person 18 years of older, to a 15 year old female acquaintance. This offender has not been assessed in the state of Arkansas and further documentation is pending from out of state.

This offender has not yet been assigned a Risk Level by SOSRA (Sex Offender Screening and Risk Management).

This person is not wanted by law enforcement at this time.  This notification is not intended to increase fear; rather it is our belief that 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.
