The Halifax County Sheriff’s Office is seeking the whereabouts of a registered sex offender for failing to report a change in address.
Lieutenant Chris Scott said Jermaine Dion Hockaday, 31, was last known to reside at 1409 Washington Street in Roanoke Rapids. He said it is believed Hockaday is probably around the same area.
The sheriff’s office today took out felony warrants on Hockaday, Scott said in a statement.
The charges stem from a monitoring and supervision check on Hockaday at his reported address and it was discovered he no longer lived there.
Registered sex offenders have three business days to report to the sheriff’s office within the county they live any changes of address or biographical information.
Hockaday has been entered as a wanted person in the National Crime Information Center and anyone with information on his whereabouts is encouraged to contact the sheriff’s office at 252-583-1991 or Crimestoppers at 252-583-4444.
