Community Notification from Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office

The Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office is required to share information about sex offenders as per ARS 13-3825. This community notice is intended to inform residents about individuals living in non-consolidated areas of Yavapai County. It’s the responsibility of the Chief Law Enforcement Agency to notify the community, especially when a sex offender is released from Arizona State Jail under an interstate compact or returns to the community from the county jail. Offenders are classified into three risk levels: Level 1 (low risk), Level 2 (intermediate risk), and Level 3 (high risk).

One of the individuals mentioned, Keith Mitchell Hollingsworth, 38, was convicted of a sex crime that necessitates community notification. He has informed the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office of his residence at Highway 260 & FR 9E 34 50335735N, 111 5767345W, AZ 86322.

In Yavapai County, on January 8, 2007, Hollingsworth was convicted of an attempted registration failure and received a 36-month probation sentence. Following that, on October 15, 2007, he was found guilty of another offense. A separate case from April 25, 2018, involved another individual who was also found guilty of failing to register, leading to a 2.5-year sentence.

This community notification isn’t meant to instill fear; rather, the Sheriff’s Office believes that well-informed communities are safer. It’s important to note that using this information to threaten or harass sex offenders is unacceptable.

There’s also a free email notification service that alerts residents about registered offenders nearby.
