On Wednesday, August 7^th, 2013, Kevin Sheek, age 35, of rural Yellville, was arrested on multiple misdemeanor and felony warrants out of both Arkansas and Missouri, including: tampering with a motor vehicle, fraud, hot checks, and failing to register as a sex offender.  

Sheek was arrested on local warrants for misdemeanor failure to pay out of Marion County and Flippin, total bond $1,700.00.  However Sheek was also charged for “Failing to Register as a Sex Offender”, with an additional bond of $25,000.00. 

Documentation indicates that in 2006, Sheek was convicted in Miller County, Missouri for Deviate Sexual Assault against a 22 year old male and is required to register as a sex offender.  Sheek fled Missouri and has been deemed “non-compliant” as sex offender in the state of Missouri.  Upon booking in to the Marion County Jail, Sheek gave a Marion County address and claimed to have resided in the area for approximately 2 years.  Sheek never registered in Arkansas nor has been assigned an assessment level.

Due to being a convicted and registered sex offender from another state, Sheek is required by law to report any changes of residence, mailing address, temporary domicile, and employment IN PERSON and in writing, SIGNED BY THE OFFENDER, within three (3) business days after establishing residency or domicile. According to ACA 12-12-904, Sheek has failed to comply with his court ordered sex offender registration requirements.
