UPDATE: Oct. 9 at 5:20 p.m.

Ronald Exantus is now back in police custody after failing to register as a felon in Florida.

In a press release, the Marion County Sheriff's Office reported that they received information that 42-year-old Exantus had relocated from Kentucky and confirmed his residency in Marion County.

He was later found to be residing in a home adjacent to an elementary school and blocks from a middle school.

Under Florida law, Exantus was required to register as a felon within 48 hours, the department reports.

“I am proud of the quick response by my deputies and the inter-agency teamwork that helped locate and arrest this disgusting individual," said Sheriff Billy Woods. "The fact that he was living right next to an elementary school is even more repulsive. I have no tolerance for this type of dangerous person flaunting our laws and thinking he would hide out in our county."

He is lodged in the Marion County Detention Center with no bond.
