CCSO seeking absconded sex offender

Coffee County sheriff's detectives have obtained a warrant for the arrest of 32-year-old convicted child molester Terrance Dernard Simpson. As part of his sex convicted offender status, Simpson is required to register annually with the sheriff's office and has failed to do so.

He is described as a black male, approximately 6'06", 250 lbs., with black hair and brown eyes. He is known to have ties to both Coffee and Ware Counties.
