The man who stabbed a 6-year-old to death and was released from prison early has been re-arrested in Florida near an elementary school.
Ronald Exantus was convicted in 2015 after stabbing Logan Tipton so hard in the head with a butcher’s knife that the knife bent.
The Marion County Sheriff’s Office says they arrested Exantus near Sunrise Elementary School for failing to register as a felon, as required by Florida law.
Exantus was discovered living in a home adjacent to the elementary school and blocks from another school. He failed to register as a felon within 48 hours.
“I am proud of the quick response by my deputies and the inter-agency teamwork that helped locate and arrest this disgusting individual,” said Sheriff Woods.
“The fact that he was living right next to an elementary school is even more repulsive. I have no tolerance for this type of dangerous person flaunting our laws and thinking he would hide out in our county.”
He is being held with no bond.
