Parsons Police have arrested a man for Aggravated Failure to Register as an Offender.

This arrest came from an investigation conducted through the Parsons Registered Offender Program (PROP) and had found that 48-year old Larry Neil McQuarie Jr. was supposed to register with Labette County as an offender from a previous drug conviction for the Manufacture of a Controlled Substance. McQuarie was arrested and jailed without incident. McQuarie's new charges are four Aggravated Counts of Failure to Register as an Offender and six separate violations for Failure to Register as an Offender.

The PROP program is designed to maintain a level of accountability for released violent, sex, and drug offenders as a part of their sentencing requirements. This program is not an additional punishment but a follow-up for an already convicted felon or misdemeanant that has been released into the community. This program is headed up by Detective Wiford and works in a close partnership with the Labette County Sheriff's Office. The Labette County Sheriff's Office is the location of the registry for Labette County Registered Offenders.
