Police seek court-deemed 'sexually violent predator'

BUTLER TWP — Police continue to seek a court-deemed “sexually violent predator” after he moved out of his township home without notifying authorities.

District Judge Kevin O’Donnell on Thursday issued an arrest warrant for 45-year-old Troy A. Pett on a felony charge of failing to comply with registration of sexual offenders requirements,

State police on Monday learned that Pett had moved out of his home on Ravenhurst Lane and had not been seen in several weeks.

Butler Township police were notified and began looking for Pett.

The landlord at Pett’s former apartment told police that he had evicted him in September, according to court documents.

As a sexually violent predator, Pett must immediately notify state police whenever he moves or changes jobs.
