A federal judge today ordered Urban Danley, 34, Joplin, on probation for failure to register as a sex offender, to be held without bond while awaiting a probation revocation hearing.
The document filed by the government asking that Danley's probation be revoked was not included in available court documents, but he was less than four months into a five-year probationary record when the motion was filed.
Court records show Danley is a Tier 3 offender who is required to register four times a year for the rest of his life.
The original conviction occurred in Ottawa County, Oklahoma, where he was convicted in 2003 at age 20, of lewd molestation. The victim was six years old.
Danley's record was spelled out in a detention motion filed November 4, 2015, in U. S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri:
DANLEY last registered on July 29, 2015, in Cherokee County, Kansas. DANLEY registered his address as 11173 Southeast 10th Street, Baxter Springs, Kansas. DANLEY
signed the registration paperwork stating he understood his sex offender registration
requirements. DANELY also initialed on line 17 that he understood failing to register
after traveling across a State line is a violation of federal law and that he could be
sentenced up to ten years in prison.
On July 9, 2015, DANLEY was contacted by the Joplin, Missouri Police Department at
1800 West 7th Street, Joplin, Missouri. DANLEY told the police that he was staying at

that she has been with DANLEY for approximately one month. Wise further stated that

Anthony Cable contacted Robin Taylor with the Jasper County Sheriff's Office.
Taylor is the sex offender registrar for Jasper County, Missouri. Taylor stated that
DANLEY last registered on July 7, 2004.
DUSM Cable also contacted Stacey Hinson
with the Missouri State Highway Patrol. Hinson is the sex offender registrar for Missouri.
Hinson stated the last registration information they had for DANLEY showed he moved
to Kansas on December 20, 2005.
On October 15, 2015, DUSM Cable and Detective Root interviewed DANLEY.
DANLEY admitted the fact that he was a convicted sex offender and required to register
for life. DANLEY also admitted that he has been living in Joplin, Missouri since
approximately June of 2015. DANLEY admitted that he signed his registration
requirements that he understood his requirement to register if he moved to another state.
DANLEY further stated that he did not know he was required to register if he was
homeless.
A sentencing memorandum filed January 26 by the U. S. Attorney said that Danley claimed he suffered from post-traumatic stress syndrome, schizophrenia and bi-polar depression and he has been unemployed since 2000, though he did receive a monthly disability payment from the government.
Danley's problems could have been taken care of by medication, but Danley did not take it, according to the sentencing memorandum, which said he preferred to self-medicate.
His self-medication of choice, according to the memorandum, was meth, which he said he used daily.
