BENTONVILLE -- An anonymous call aided in the arrest of a man whom authorities say failed to register as a sex offender.
Edward Dean Schuler, 39, was arrested Wednesday and booked at the Benton County Jail pending a bond hearing.
Bentonville police received the anonymous call Tuesday about Schuler. The caller identified him and stated his photograph was seen on the Internet and Schuler supposedly fled from Colorado, according to a news release from the Bentonville Police Department.
A follow-up investigation indicated Schuler was a convicted sex offender in Colorado and his records showed failure to register along with an unknown address, police said.
Schuler was convicted of sexually assaulting three children during a time frame when he was already convicted for a similar offense and while he was undergoing treatment at a sex offender treatment facility in Colorado, the news release states.
Schuler was found Wednesday at a construction site in Bentonville. He said he has been staying with his wife at various motels throughout Arkansas, Oklahoma and Missouri, according to the news release.
