Current Registry Status<\/h2>\n

The current South Dakota profile labels Byington’s offender status as compliant.<\/p>\n

However, that profile also displays a notice concerning several registration statutes.<\/p>\n

The notice says he violates one or more listed South Dakota registration laws.<\/p>\n

The public profile does not explain the difference between those statements.<\/p>\n

Readers should check the state registry for the latest status information.<\/p>\n

The state page currently lists Bullhead as Byington’s community of residence.<\/p>\n

It also lists community safety zone restrictions under South Dakota law.<\/p>\n

The supplied record describes Byington as six feet tall.<\/p>\n

It lists black hair and brown eyes.<\/p>\n

The supplied record lists his weight as 270 pounds.<\/p>\n

The current state profile lists his weight as 260 pounds.<\/p>\n

Registry descriptions can change when agencies receive updated information.<\/p>\n

This public listing does not report a new arrest or a new criminal charge.<\/p>\n

It concerns a past conviction and ongoing registration requirements.<\/p>\n

Residents can also search the National Sex Offender Public Website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The federal website connects users with participating public registries nationwide.<\/p>\n

Readers should rely on official agencies when checking current offender information.<\/p>\n
