A Lincoln Parish deputy sheriff serving papers determined a convicted sex offender had moved and failed to register at his new residence.
Alex Terrell Jenkins, 27, was arrested last Monday after a deputy investigated his place of residence.
The deputy was near Jenkins’s supposed home when he realized the location was vacant and abandoned. The deputy could see the residence was vacant with the front door missing and windows damaged. A neighbor told the deputy nobody lived at the address.
The deputy attempted to call Jenkins but the number was no longer in service.
Jenkins was contacted by phone at his place of employment. He confirmed he lived at the address the deputy found vacant.
Jenkins met the deputy at the Lincoln Parish Sheriff’s Office. He was asked for proof that he was living at the location in question. He stated he did not have any proof.
Upon further questioning, Jenkins said it had been a few weeks since he had stayed there, constituting a violation of his sex offender status. Jenkins eventually admitted he was living on Fairview Street in Dubach rather than the address he had provided to the sex offender registry.
Jenkins was arrested and booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center.
