Sex offender residing in Cotter


The public is being notified of a new sex offender registering with the Baxter County Sheriff’s Office.

Baxter County Sheriff John Montgomery says 30-year-old Jeremy Murray is residing at 330 Powell Avenue in Cotter.

Murray was convicted of two counts of second degree rape in two locations in New York in 2008. He was sentenced to 15 years. The particulars of these offenses are not indicated in available documentation.

Murray has not been assigned a risk level by the Sex Offender Community Notification Assessment (SOCNA).

He is not wanted by law enforcement at this time. This notification is not intended to increase fear; rather it is the sheriff’s 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.
