A convicted sex offender was arrested yesterday morning for being on the grounds of the Downtown Middle School four times in recent weeks, the Forsyth County Sheriff's Office said.
Elbert Otis Jeffries Jr., 26, of 4142 Old Lexington Road, faces four counts of being a sex offender on school premises.
The Sheriff's Office said a probation officer told them Wednesday that Jeffries had been on the school grounds four times between Feb. 12 and Tuesday.
Jeffries is being monitored by a GPS tracking device that shows his location at all times. It was part of his sentence when he was convicted in 2006 of indecent liberties with a minor.
Jeffries is being held at the Forsyth County Jail with bond set at $15,000.
