Lawrence Paggeot (2/4/62) notified Kentucky authorities of his intent to move to Marion County, Florida. He was told he must register his address with the Marion County Sheriff’s Office upon his arrival. Kentucky did not receive confirmation Paggeot registered in Florida and contacted MCSO. MCSO Detectives went to the address Paggeot provided Kentucky to find the property abandoned. MCSO discovered Paggeot was living at a residence in Levy County and contacted the LCSO Sex Offender Unit.
LCSO Detectives responded to 11190 SE 201 Street in Inglis and located Paggeot on 12/31/24. He initially gave detectives a false name but his true identity was soon discovered. Paggeot had not registered as a sex offender living in Levy County with the LCSO and was subsequently arrested. He is being held in the Levy County Detention Center in lieu of a $15,000.00 bond.
