A deputy saw Alex L. Taylor, already wanted on warrants, at the Stark County Fair .

CANTON A wanted sex offender admitted he had been drinking when he ordered a 12-year-old boy to go to the pig barn and wait for him, Stark County Jail records show.

Alex L. Taylor, 35, of the 2000 block of Harrison Avenue SW, was arrested at 8:30 p.m. Thursday at the Stark County Fairgrounds, 305 Wertz Ave. NW, where Stark County Sheriff's Deputy Bradley Green saw him.

According to the jail records, Taylor had "a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage," his speech was slurred and his eyes bloodshot while he reportedly coaxed the boy to go to the pig barn, frightening the child.

Taylor was already wanted on warrants charging him with failure to notify authorities that he had changed addresses and a parole violation.

He was arrested on those warrants and on charges of felony criminal child enticement and disorderly conduct.

Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction records show he is on parole for failure to notify authorities of his change of address in 2016.

Stark County court records show he also went to prison in 2015 for failing to tell authorities he'd moved.

The Ohio Attorney General's Office listed him Friday morning as living in the 400 block of Third Street NE.

Cuyahoga County court records show he was convicted in 2013 of gross sexual imposition against a child under 13 with sexual motivation.

Taylor remained in the jail early Friday, held without bond pending a Canton Municipal Court hearing.
