Washington’s Most Wanted Searching for Benton County Sex Offender

Washington's Most Wanted TV show from Fox Q13 in Seattle says a man who failed to register as a sex offender in Benton County is wanted by the Department of Corrections.

In 1989, Jimmy Joe Sanchez was convicted for his role in an Adams County gang rape of a 12-year-old girl. He was able to plea down to child molestation, but now the DOC says he's failed to register as a sex offender in Benton County.  He may have variations of facial hair, and is covered heavily in tattoos. A cross with a ribbon on his left forearm, a mermaid on his right forearm, and Mexican and American flags on his back, among many.

The 47-year-old man is said to have a violent past, with gang ties and assault, theft, and already four convictions for failure to register as a sex offender. Anyone who sees him is urged to not attempt contact, but call (509)-628-0333 or use the P3TipsApp on your phone if you have it to submit a tip.
