A sex offender has gone missing and police are trying to locate him.
A family member reported Joey Rodney Herron, 46, missing on Jan. 12, according to a Burke County Sheriff's Office press release. Herron was last seen by that family member on Dec. 27.
Investigative Lt. Rodney Norman says there is no evidence of foul play and said Herron may be on the run because he has outstanding warrants for his arrest in Burke County.
His last known address is 1501 Givens St., Hickory, but Norman said he may be in Lenoir where his ex-wife and children live.
If Herron has moved, he had 30 days to register at his new address or be in violation of state law. His address was last verified Nov. 23.
Herron is 6-feet tall and weighs 165 pounds. He drives a dark slate-blue Jeep Wrangler with black rims.
The 46-year-old was convicted on Sept. 6, 2006 with taking indecent liberties with a 4-year-old, according to the N.C. Sex Offender Registry.
Anyone with information on Herron's whereabouts is asked to call the Burke County Sheriff's Office at 438-5500.
