A convicted sex offender was arrested Wednesday after deputies say he was reported by students acting suspicious just outside Thomas Nelson High School.
Officers later found he had a stolen vehicle and had reportedly approached a student.
According to a post from the Nelson County Sheriff’s Office, 34 year-old Joseph Anderson was first reported to school staff by a student who said he was walking away from a vehicle near the school’s entrance and approached the student asking for a lighter.
An officer at the school approached Anderson a short time later and found that not only was he a non-complying sex offender, but the car he was spotted nearby was also stolen.
Anderson was arrested on charges of receiving stolen property over $1,000 and failure to comply with sex offender registration. He is being held in the Nelson County Correctional Center under a $10,000 cash bond and is scheduled to appear in Nelson District Court on May 14.
