Sumner County, TN – An anonymous tip to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation led detectives to a wanted sex offender living in violation of registry laws, officials confirmed Tuesday.
According to the Sumner County Sheriff’s Office, detectives located Jason Locke in Hendersonville earlier today, even though his registered address was listed in Portland.
Authorities said Locke was found living in a residence where a minor also lived — a separate and serious violation under Tennessee’s Sex Offender Registry laws.
The Sheriff’s Office said Locke was taken into custody without incident and will be booked into the Sumner County Jail. Officials thanked the anonymous tipster whose information helped detectives make the arrest.
The case remains under investigation by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and the Sumner County Sheriff’s Office.
