Overview

• Marion County deputies obtained a warrant after learning Exantus had not registered as a convicted felon within 48 hours of establishing residency, as Florida law requires.
• Investigators found him living next to an elementary school in Marion County and booked him into the Marion County Detention Center with no bond.
• State records show he left Kentucky custody on Oct. 1 under mandatory reentry supervision after earning good-time and education credits toward a 20-year sentence for assault convictions tied to the Tipton case.
• In 2018, a jury found him not guilty by reason of insanity on murder and burglary charges in Logan Tipton’s death while finding him guilty, mentally ill, on assault counts.
• Officials say they are working to send him back to Kentucky as the White House reviews the case and Kentucky State Police investigate threats against the parole board.
