The Baxter County Sheriff’s Department is notifying the public a new sex offender has registered with the office.Sheriff John Montgomery states 34-year-old Heather Cannon has moved to 700 Summerhill Drive in Gassville.
Cannon has not yet been assigned by a risk level by the sex offender community notification assessment. Sheriff Montgomery states Cannon was arrested on a charge of first-degree statutory rape involving a person under 14 years of age in Greene County Missouri December 8, 2008 and was convicted on September 21, 2012. Cannon was sentenced to seven years confinement, which was suspended and was instead placed on probation.
Cannon is not wanted by law enforcement at this time. This notification is not intended to increase fear; rather it is the sheriff’s belief 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 provide community notification
