WASHINGTON COUNTY (KFSM) – A level-three sex offender convicted of engaging in sexual contact with a six-year-old boy was arrested on Feb. 4 on suspicion of failing to register, police say.

Charles Hyde, 19, was booked into the Washington County Detention Center on Wednesday at 8:11 p.m. and faces a charge of failing to register as a sex offender, according to jail records.

Hyde is a level-three sex offender and was arrested on Nov. 27, 2013, by the Siloam Springs Police Department on suspicion of failing to register as a sex offender, according to an arrest report. On Dec. 16, 2013, he came to the Springdale Police Department after being released from DHS custody due to turning 18, the report states.

Police say he registered his address as being in the 1600 block of South Pleasant Street in Springdale, and an officer informed him that address wouldn’t work due to two daycare facilities and a school being within 2,000 feet of the residence.

According to the report, Hyde told the officer he would need to wait for his disability benefits check to arrive before he could get a different residence. He then left and was scheduled to return to the Springdale Police Department on Jan. 8, 2014, according to authorities.

Hyde did not return on the above date, police say. On Jan. 27, 2014, an officer went to the residence in the 1600 block of South Pleasant Street, and the convicted sex offender was not there, according to the report.

Authorities say on Jan. 28, 2014, the Arkansas Crime Information Center confirmed that Hyde had not submitted any paperwork to them regarding his updated whereabouts.

On Feb. 6, 2014, an arrest warrant was issued for Hyde. He was arrested on Feb. 4, almost one year later, the report states.

His bond has been set at $10,000, and his next hearing is scheduled for Friday (Feb. 6) at 7:45 a.m., jail records state.
