State police arrested Joshua Moolhuizen on Sept. 15 for failure to comply with sex offender registration.

A registered sex offender with a Williamsburg address is behind bars for first-offense failure to comply with sex offender registration.

Larkey obtained an arrest warrant for Moolhuizen on May 18.

“Joshua Moolhuizen is a registered sex offender from the state of Michigan (who) has a listed address of 244 S. Second Street, Williamsburg, Kentucky. Joshua Moolhuizen has never lived at this address in violation of KRS 17.510(11),” Larkey wrote in the warrant.
