Message from Garland County Sheriff Larry Sanders

I would like to remind everyone of our free Sex Offender Database and Registry. From our website you click on the Sex Offender Database and Registry link and either search for, or register to receive notification of, sex offenders in your area.

This service has proven beneficial to our citizens for over 5 years and many have taken advantage of the notification benefit, whereas you are notified if an offender moves into your area.

O.A. Wynn, our full-time sex offender deputy, and I work closely with area law enforcement agencies, the courts and the prosecutor’s office to assure that the information is correct, offenders are following their requirements and bringing them to justice when they do not fulfill those requirements.

Recently, a few of our offenders decided they did not want to comply with the requirements, by moving out of state without proper notifications and/or registration. With the assistance of several out of state agencies, the state parole office and the U.S. Marshall Service, these offenders were swiftly apprehended and have either been brought back to Garland County or are awaiting extradition.

August Kreiner, a level 3 offender convicted of Aggravated Sexual Assault on an 8 year old and adult female, fled to Iowa. Within one week Kreiner was arrested and extradited back to Garland County where he was sentenced to 7 years in the Department of Corrections.

Billy Joe Dennis, a level 3 offender convicted of Kidnapping a 17 year old female, during a home invasion, fled to Texas. Dennis was arrested and extradited back to Garland County where he is awaiting trial and facing up to 10 years in the Department of Corrections.

Ray Anderson, a level 3 offender convicted of Sexual Battery, fled to Louisiana. Anderson was arrested within 48 hours and is currently awaiting extradition back to Garland County.

I appreciate the input and assistance that the citizens of Garland County have given to help make this program successful. With your assistance, and Deputy Wynn’s relentless determination, we are guaranteed to have continued success with this program.

Please visit our website, http://www.garlandcountysheriff.com, to search for offenders in your area and to be notified if one moves into your area. I would also ask that if you find information that is incorrect in the database, that you give Deputy Wynn or me a call at 501-622-3690 or 501-622-3660.
