Non-registered sex offender arrested

According to an arrest affidavit from the Kimball Police Department on Monday, Aug. 13, at approximately 5:17, Officer Henderson Bryson of the KPD was notified by Chief Andy Bremer, that Wayne L. Schmidt had been living here in Kimball for longer than three days without registering as a sex offender.

Schmidt, 37, was approached by Bremer and Bryson at 800 East 6th Street. When the officers asked if he was registered his reply was that he had not.

According to the affidavit Schmidt stated that he had only been living in Kimball for about a week and a half and that he still had an address elsewhere and was planning to permanently move to Kimball on Aug. 29.

At that time Schmidt was escorted to the Kimball County Sheriff’s Office and later was lodged in the Kimball County Jail on a felony charge of failure to register of known sex offender.
