A Parsons man is arrested on a parole violation. In May, an investigation was started into the case of a non-compliant offender, 42-year-old Billy Lee White. The investigation revealed that White had been non-compliant since failing to register in December and had persistently remained in violation since January 1st. White, currently on parole under the supervision of the Kansas Department of Corrections, was officially designated as a parole absconder by the KDOC on March 24th.
After eluding authorities for over 280 days, White was finally taken into custody today. While on patrol, a PPD officer came into contact with White shortly after 11:00am today. White attempted to flee but the officer was able to locate him and place him under arrest. He is currently detained on a KDOC absconder warrant, with additional charges pending for aggravated violation of offender registration and eight counts of violation of offender registration.
