Terry A. Overturf, 42, Gallatin, was charged April 12 with failure to register as sex offender and forgery in Daviess County Circuit Court. Overturf was convicted of failure to register as sex offender in 2019 in Saline County and has not reported to the Daviess County Sheriff’s Office to report address changes or to fix his registration. A warrant has been issued for his arrest, and there is an active warrant for his arrest out of Saline County.
According to the probable cause statement, Overturf failed to provide a valid address verification letter from the Highway Patrol to the sheriff’s department. In addition, on the letter that he provided, a date was altered to make it appear to represent his most recent address verification letter.
During the investigation, it was discovered that Overturf indicated a change of address but actually only resided there for two days before returning to his old address on Mill Street in Gallatin. Residents there indicated that he had been kicked out of the residence a month earlier but still sometimes would sneak in through the basement. His current whereabouts are unknown.
He has an extensive criminal history including child endangerment, felonious restraint, burglary, stealing, statutory sodomy amended to child endangerment, DWI, and multiple traffic violations.
