PIKE COUNTY, IL — A rural Barry man has been arrested after authorities say he was not in compliance with Illinois sex offender registration requirements.

The Pike County Sheriff’s Department announced the arrest of Jesse S. Moore, 54, of rural Barry following an investigation initiated by Chief Deputy Zack Orr.

Moore was arrested March 10 in Morgan County and transported back to Pike County. Authorities say he was later released pending a future court appearance.
