Dade County sex offender arrested for failure to register


(From Dade County Sheriff Ryan Robison)

On June 3, 2026, deputies with the Dade County Sheriff's Office arrested Billy Lewis of Everton, Missouri, for Failing to Register as a Sex Offender pursuant to Missouri Revised Statutes §§ 589.400–589.425.

On June 4, 2026, a no-bond warrant was issued for Lewis on the same charge.










All persons are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Charges are merely accusations, and the defendant is entitled to a fair trial where guilt or innocence will be determined by the judicial process.

The Dade County Sheriff's Office remains committed to enforcing Missouri's sex offender registration laws. These requirements exist to help protect our communities and ensure accountability. We encourage citizens to remain vigilant, stay informed, and report any suspicious activity or information regarding criminal violations to law enforcement. The safety of Dade County residents continues to be our highest priority.
