Noncompliant sex offender arrested after brief chase over riverbank
PRESTONSBURG, Ky. — A Central Kentucky sex offender who allegedly moved to Floyd County without informing authorities was arrested Tuesday following a brief chase.
Johnny Ray McQueen, 63, who has recently been living in Auxier, was convicted in Madison County of first-degree sexual abuse of a 13-year-old back in 1982.
After serving his sentence, he has been on the sex offender registry ever since, But while his last reported address was in Danville, but he was discovered to no longer be living there back in March.
The Floyd County Sheriff’s Office learned Tuesday that he was in downtown Prestonsburg, and a deputy spotted him getting into his car on Front Street. The deputy instructed him to get out of his vehicle, but wrote in his report that McQueen put his car in drive instead, damaging an electrical receptacle and some grass along the way.
From there, police say he drove the wrong way down Front Street, nearly hitting two women who were crossing the street, before veering into the riverbank parking area behind Billy Ray’s Restaurant. After driving through the parking lot, he drove into an adjacent field along the riverbank, before abandoning his vehicle and trying to run away. He was captured seconds later.
McQueen now faces of fleeing police, wanton endangerment, criminal mischief and several traffic violations in Floyd County, in addition to failure to comply with sex offender registration in Boyle County. He is being held in the Floyd County jail on a 25-thousand dollar cash bond.
