The Pineville City Police Department has issued a report regarding the arrest of a registered sex offender on Oct. 3.

PPD Officer Curtis Pingleton along with agents of the U.S. Marshal’s Service arrested Richard Moore, 38, of Pineville.

Police said Moore is a registered sex offender in Tennessee and was found to be living within 1,000 yards of a school and playground in Pineville, which is a violation of those restrictions.

Moore was taken into custody at his residence after a brief chase and was lodged in the Bell County Detention Center. He was charged with registered sex offender restrictions violations and was served a fugitive warrant from another state.

He is being held on a $100,000 bond for that charge, but given no bond on the fugitive charge.

The case is still under investigation by Pingelton and members of the U.S. Marshal’s Service.
