The following criminal complaints have been filed in the Tucker County Magistrate Court:
- James Ray Waybright, Parsons, was charged with three felony counts of failure to register as a sexual offender and provide registration changes. The complaint states that on Tuesday, Jan. 30 the defendant came into the Parsons Detachment of the West Virginia State Police to complete his annual sex offender registration. He stated there were no changes and completed the said registration. When he left the parking lot, the vehicle he left in did not resemble to 2002 Dodge Neon on his registration. Upon further investigation it was learned that the Neon was not seen at the defendant’s residence any longer. However there was a 2003 silver Chevrolet Cavalier with no registration plate and a 2002 silver Pontiac Sunfire bearing a WV registration. It was registered in his wife’s name. On Wednesday, Feb. 14 Sgt. C.D. Siler traveled to the defendant’s residence and observed both vehicles in the driveway. He went to the door and spoke with Waybright. He allegedly stated it wasn’t his car but it belonged to his wife. The sex offender is required to register any vehicle that he may have access to on a regular basis. Siler informed him to come to the office to make the changes. Once at the office, Siler asked Joy Waybright about the vehicles. She stated they got rid of the 2002 Dodge Neon February of 2017 and purchased the 2003 Cavalier in June of 2017. She stated the motor blew up about a month later and they purchased the 2002 Sunfire around September 2017 and transferred the registration. The defendant still had the Cavalier and the Sunfire which neither one had been registered on his Sex Offender registration. Not did he register that he had gotten rid of the Neon. The defendant had come into the Parsons Detachment on Jan. 19, 2017 and completed his annual registration.
