Louisiana Police Search for Three Men Breaching Sex Offender Laws

Law enforcement officials are seeking three Louisiana men for violating the sex offender registry, which requires them to inform officials of where they are living.

Officially titled the State Sex Offender and Child Predator Registry, the information contained on the State Police's registry offers anyone in the state a chance to look for registered sex offenders in their area.

Acadia Parish Sheriff K.P. Gibson says members of the Acadia Sheriff's Sex Offender Unit are asking people for help in finding three men who are wanted for violations of the sex offender registry.

The three men are as follows:

• Trivual Charles-Batiste
• Melvin Dugar

According to Gibson, Charles-Batiste is a 55-year-old black male with brown eyes and gray hair. He is said to be five feet, ten inches tall and weigh around 165 pounds.

Charles-Batiste has given his last known address as 902 Locust Street in Rayne, and the man is wanted for Failure to Notify of Change of Address.

Gibson says that Dugar is a 25-year-old black male who has brown eyes and black hair. The man is said to weigh around 192 pounds.

Dugar's last known address was at 5163 Simon Road in Crowley. Dugar is wanted for Failure to Register as a Convicted Sex Offender.

According to Gibson, Williams is a 47-year-old black male who has gray hair and brown eyes. The man is six feet, one inch tall and weighs around 150 pounds.

Williams' last known address was at 319 West 5th Street in Crowley. He is wanted for Failure to Notify of Change of Address.
