The Baxter County Sheriff’s Office is notifying the public a sex offender has registered in the county.
According to Sheriff John Montgomery, 41-year-old Waylon Coker has just been released from the Arkansas Division of Corrections and is now residing at 34 County Road 548 in Mountain Home.
Coker has been assessed as a level 2 offender, which is defined as someone who is at moderate risk to reoffend with community notification justified.
Coker was convicted of first degree sexual assault June 22, 2015, which involved him engaging in sexual contact with a then 13-year-old female.
Coker 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 do community notification.
