Craig Alan Jeremiah

     The Sheriff’s Office is notifying the public that a previously registered by unassessed sex offender has now been given a community risk assessment level by the state.  Craig Alan Jeremiah has been assessed as Level 2 (moderate risk to re-offend with community notification justified). 

NAME:                       CRAIG ALAN JEREMIAH 

DATE OF BIRTH:   01/18/1966

HOME ADDRESS:  875 CR 139
                                    Elizabeth, Arkansas 72531 

     The offender was convicted of Importuning (four counts) and Attempted Unlawful Sexual Conduct with a Minor in 03/15/2005 in North Dakota.  These offenses involved the then 37 year old offender chatting via the internet with a person he believed to have been a 14 year old female and arranging to meet her for sex.  The offender was also sentenced in North Dakota on 09/04/2012 for Violation of Sex Offender Registration.  

     This person is not wanted by law enforcement at this time.  This notification is not intended to increase fear; rather it is our belief that an informed public is a safer public.  This information cannot be used to threaten, intimidate, or harass Registered Sex Offenders.  Citizen abuse will not be tolerated.  Such abuse could potentially end law enforcement’s ability to do community notification.
