CINCINNATI -- A 44-year-old Ohio sexual offender waiting outside the prison for word of his brother's execution was arrested for allegedly failing to notify authorities about a move.
State Highway Patrol troopers approached Gary Sawyer in Lucasville Tuesday morning about an outstanding felony warrant. Authorities say they waited to arrest him because he asked to stay until the execution of his brother, William Garner, was carried out.
Garner killed five children by setting fire to an apartment.
Sawyer is listed as a sexual predator for a kidnap-rape conviction and must notify law enforcement in advance of a change of address. He said in court Thursday in Cincinnati that his lawyer should have explained why he was in Lucasville. A judge ordered him held on $25,000 bond.
