PORT ANGELES — A 20-year-old Port Angeles man has been sentenced to four months in the Clallam County jail for failing to register as a sex offender, Port Angeles police said.
Aaron Eugene Arnold was convicted of third-degree child rape in Clallam County in June 2010.
Authorities began searching for Arnold on May 19 after they discovered he was not living at the address he listed on his sex-offender registration paperwork.
Arnold was arrested May 23 at a gas station-convenience store at the corner of First and Lincoln streets in Port Angeles after the state Department of Corrections tipped off police that Arnold was there.
Arnold was arrested without incident.
He pleaded guilty to failure to register as a sex offender June 30 and was ordered to pay $1,345 in fees.
Convicted sex offenders are required to register in Washington.
Port Angeles Police Detective Cpl. Jason Viada said there are 54 registered sex offenders living in Port Angeles.
