(KNZA)--A convicted sex offender wanted in three western Kansas counties was apprehended in Jackson County Friday evening.
Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse says 43-year-old Eric Paul Shoemaker was found at a home in Denison after the sheriff's office received information the Great Bend man was in the area.
Morse says Shoemaker refused initially to come to the door, but after deputies communicated with him at length, he surrendered peacefully.
He says Shoemaker was wanted on warrants out of Barton, Pawnee and Ford Counties for failing to register as a sex offender, probation violations and failing to appear on a domestic battery charge.
Shoemaker was booked into the Jackson County Jail, where he is currently being held without bond.
