Gage County Sheriff Millard Gustafson says McKeon had skipped appointments for the required registration. A sheriff’s investigator notified officers of the Beatrice Police Department and school resource officers, since McKeon was residing near the Beatrice Middle School.
After an investigation involving city, county and state officers, McKeon was arrested at his home, on Friday, at about 11:25 a.m. Information for violation of local ordinances on residency restrictions for sex offenders is being forwarded to Beatrice Police and the city attorney’s office.
