State Police Charge Two Men with Failure to Re-Register as Sex Offenders

Released-Saturday, January 12, 2008

Dover-On Tuesday, January 8, 2008 the Delaware State Police Sex Offender Apprehension and Registration unit charged two men with failure to re-register as sex offenders.  

Bruce I. Butler, 46, of Dover was charged after being extradited from Maryland. Detectives issued an arrest warrant for Butler in November, and he was apprehended last month in Prince George's County, Maryland after a joint investigation between Delaware State Police and the U.S. Marshals.
 

Butler was also wanted on court capiases from Kent County Superior Court, Kent County Family Court, Kent County Court of Common Pleas, and Justice of the Peace Court 7.  He is held at the Delaware Correctional Center in lieu of $2,372.00 cash bail.

Detectives also arrested 29-year-old Timothy A. Carr of Wilmington.  Carr, a moderate-risk offender, was apprehended by Troopers as he fled a residence in Elsmere. 

A warrant was issued for Carr last week, when it was determined that he had failed to notify the sex offender registry as to his whereabouts.  Carr is a registered sex offender due to a 1998 conviction for unlawful sexual intercourse 3rd Degree.  Carr was later released on $2,000.00 unsecured bond.
