Submitted by THV 11 News Staff

Wednesday, July 8th, 2015, 3:07pm

WHITE COUNTY, Ark. (KTHV) - Officials with the Arkansas Department of Corrections are searching for a sex offender that has failed to register since 2012.

Officers are currently searching in a wooded area between Searcy and Romance, Ark. for 45-year-old Sean Duffy.

Duffy served time in a Vermont prison in 1991 and in 2000 on sex offenses. When he was released the last time, Duffy decided to move to Arkansas. Duffy was arrested in 2011 for living too close to the Magness Creek School area in Cabot. Duffy was placed on probation following this incident.

A new warrant was recently issued for Duffy's arrest, after he failed to continue to register as a sex offender. When officials attempted to issue the warrant to Duffy, he ran into nearby woods.

If you see Sean Duffy, or have any information regarding his whereabouts, contact your local police department.
