A convicted sex offender has been charged with being on school property after he and his wife went to Fort Chiswell Middle School on business last Friday.
Jay Lindell Walters Sr., 43, of Grandview Drive in Max Meadows was arrested at his home on Monday.
According to Chief Deputy Keith Dunagan of the Wythe County Sheriff’s Office, Principal Becki James recognized Walters from Virginia State Police information provided to the school. She informed Walters that state law prohibited him from being on school property and asked him to leave.
In the meantime, the Fort Chiswell High School Resource Officer arrived, Dunagan said. Walters then went to his vehicle but returned to apologize, according to the chief deputy, and was told to leave by the Resource Officer.
The officer discussed the incident with the commonwealth’s attorney office, Dunagan reported, and was advised to charge Walters.
