The Rowan County Sheriff’s Office charged a convicted sex offender this week with violating terms of his probation by living close to a school. Larry Wayne Putnam, 39, of Rockwell, was charged with failing to notify law enforcement of an address change, being a sex offender living in on premises near children and felony larceny. He remains in the Rowan County Detention Center under a $10,000 secured bond.

The home, located in the 100 block of Carolyn Road, was exactly 962 feet from Knollwood Elementary School. The larceny charge stems from a Nov. 5 incident where officials say Putnam took furniture and appliances from a home.

Putnam was convicted in 2012 of indecent liberties with a child that stemmed from a 2006 offense. He’s also been convicted of felony breaking and entering, filing a false report to police, fictitious information to an officer, misdemeanor breaking and entering, and felony breaking into vehicles.
