     On 11-6-15, the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office issued a press release asking for help from the public in locating a registered sex offender that had absconded from supervision.


     On 10-1-15 John Frank Crutchfield, 48, moved from his registered address on Cliff Rd., south of Graceville, without notifying the Sheriff’s Office of his change of address. He also failed to register as scheduled in the month of October.


     After following up on several dead-end tips that Crutchfield had relocated to different towns in south Alabama or Panama City, information received from the public lead law enforcement officials to believe that he had fled to Spring Valley New York.


     Investigators from the Sheriff’s Office prepared a packet of identifying information for the Spring Valley Police Department. At their regular “Roll Call” shift briefing on 11-13-15 at 4:00 p.m. Officers were presented with the BOLO or “Be on the Lookout” for Crutchfield.


     Upon leaving the briefing, an alert Spring Valley Police Officer observed Crutchfield walking down the side of the road. He was arrested without incident and is being held locally while transport back to Florida is arranged.


     In the past six months the Sex Offender Compliance Division has arrested eight registered sex offenders for violating their registration obligations. The Jackson County Sheriff’s Office strives to maintain a safe and secure environment for our citizens.


     If you would like more information about sex offenders in your area, you can visit www.flsexoffender.net. You can search by name, neighborhood, university, city, county, zip code, or internet identifier.


     Floridaoffenderalaert.com allows you to register and be notified if an offender moves into any area that you designate.


     We extend our sincere gratitude to the public for their assistance in apprehending this fugitive.
