UPDATE- The Arkansas County Sheriff's Office reports that one of its deputy's found and detained Roy Moore on Oct. 22. Officials with the sheriff's office were searching for Moore yesterday, and received a tip from a neighbor of his whereabouts, which led to Moore's arrest. Moore was transported to the Lonoke County Sheriff's Office, where he will be held without bond for his warrant from the Arkansas Board of Parole. Lonoke County Sheriff's Office says charges are pending for Residential Burglary, Theft of Property and Fleeing.

LONOKE, Ark. (KTHV) - The Lonoke County Sheriff's Office is asking for the public's help in finding Roy Moore. He is wanted by the Arkansas Board of Parole for violation of his parole.

Moore is on parole for multiple felonies, including Residential Burglary, Theft of Property, Drug Violations and Fleeing.

The sheriff's office reports that on October 17, 2018 Moore was seen leaving a residence on Bland Chapel Road in Lonoke County, which he had just burglarized. Moore then fled into the woods, and Lonoke County deputies and an Arkansas Department of Correction K-9 Team from Tucker Prison responded, tracking Moore for 5 miles through the woods to a residence on Pigeon Road.

The sheriff's office later obtained information that someone picked Moore up and took him to an unknown location. The sheriff's office reports that a warrant will be obtained for Residential Burglary in addition to his warrant from the Arkansas Board of Parole.

Moore has been arrested over 27 times since 1993. The sheriff's office says 13 of those arrests have been from Lonoke County. Roy Moore has been a suspect in multiple Burglaries since his release from prison this April.
