The Baxter County Sheriff’s Office is notifying the public a sex offender has registered in the county.
According to Sheriff John Montgomery, 47-year-old George W. Yeager, Jr. has just been released from the Arkansas Division of Corrections and is now residing at 170 RD 1423 in Mountain Home.
Yeager has been assessed as a level 2 offender, which is defined as someone who is at moderate risk to reoffend with community notification justified.
Yeager was convicted of four counts of rape in Arkansas on November 23, 2009, which involved him engaging in sexual contact with a female child seven years of age or younger.
Yeager 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.
