A sex offender was arrested Tuesday in Chillicothe after failing to register.

The Livingston County Sheriff’s Office said it began investigating from a tip that a local registered sex offender was allegedly not reporting accurate information and not living where he had reported and was actually living in close proximity to a school.

41-year-old Richard Lee Johnson Jr. was taken into custody in the 400 block of Calhoun St.

He was arrested on a warrant for two felony counts for failing to register as a sex offender and one felony count of alleged sex offender residing within 1,000 feet of a school/daycare.

According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol’s sex offender registry, Johnson was convicted in 2001 at the age of 27 for an offense of indecent exposure involving a 14-year-old girl in Iowa.

Johnson is currently in custody in the Daviess-Dekalb County Regional jail being held on $5,000 cash bond.
