A Missouri man wanted for Failure to Register as a Sex Offender was arrested at a Rock Springs area playground last week. According to Sweetwater County Sheriff’s Office, 23-year-old Cody Lynn Cotter was taken into custody by deputies after residents reported a suspicious person in the area around the playground. When approached by deputies, Cotter reported he had come into the area that day by bus seeking work. A routine check showed that Cotter was wanted in Missouri for Failure to Register on the Missouri sex offender registry. Sheriff Mike Lowell clarified that there were no children playing at the playground at the time of Cotter’s arrest. His return to Missouri to face charges there is pending.
