The Marion County Sheriff's Office is on the lookout for Carlos E. Montgomery, with the authorities requesting assistance from the public to track down the individual who has a warrant out for Failure to Register as a Sex or Violent Offender. According to the information shared by the Marion County Sheriff's Office via a social media post, Montgomery was previously convicted for Child Molesting on August 22, 2003, earning the label of a Sexually Violent Predator in Marion County, Indiana. This designation comes with specific legal obligations, including regular registration updates that Montgomery has failed to fulfill.
Described as a 61-year-old Black male with gray hair and brown eyes, Montgomery stands at 5’7” tall and weighs approximately 195 pounds. He was born on October 18, 1964. Citizens in the know of Montgomery's current location are encouraged to contact law enforcement or to submit tips anonymously by calling Crime Stoppers of Central Indiana at 317-262-TIPS (8477). In an echo of accountability, Montgomery also has the option to turn himself in by calling 317-327-SAFE (7233).
The Sheriff's Office, taking a zero-tolerance stance towards non-compliance with sex offender registration statutes, runs a weekly feature called the Monday Morning Roundup. This initiative spotlights non-compliant offenders who were previously in accordance with the law but have since deviated from the mandated registration requirements.
Registration requirements, which are stipulated by state law, dictate the need to report any changes including new addresses, employment, or vehicles. Failing to report these changes prompts the issuance of a warrant, putting Montgomery and similar individuals in flagrant violation. The post by the Marion County Sheriff's Office clearly states, "Every week, the MCSO features a non-compliant sex offender, and we often receive questions about why they aren’t already registered. The people featured on the Monday Morning Roundup were registered, but are now in violation of their registration requirements."
