ACSO Arrests 27-Year-Old Burlington Man for Failing to Report Address

The Alamance County Sheriff’s Office Sex Offenders Registration Unit arrested 27-year-old Burlington resident Tyques Jay Ingram‑Smith on Feb. 24, 2026, and charged him with one count of felony failure to report a change of address under North Carolina’s sex‑offender registration law. The charge alleges Ingram‑Smith did not notify authorities of a required address change as set out in state registration requirements.

The arrest was carried out by the ACSO Sex Offenders Registration Unit in Alamance County; ABC45 identified the suspect as Tyques Jay Ingram‑Smith and reported the charge. The single-count felony charge stems from state statute enforcement that assigns responsibility to registered individuals to report address changes to the appropriate registration authorities.

Ingram‑Smith, 27, is described in the charge information as a Burlington resident. ACSO’s Sex Offenders Registration Unit handles monitoring and enforcement of registration compliance across Alamance County, and the unit made the arrest that led to the felony charge on Feb. 24, 2026. Law enforcement documents filed with ACSO list the violation specifically as failure to report a change of address under the state’s sex‑offender registration framework.

The arrest adds to local enforcement activity by the Sex Offenders Registration Unit in Burlington and the broader Alamance County jurisdiction; the unit’s role includes tracking compliance with reporting requirements that are part of post-conviction supervision and registration obligations. Prosecutors in Alamance County will be responsible for pursuing the felony charge as the case proceeds through the county criminal justice system.

This case highlights the practical consequences of North Carolina’s registration rules for registered individuals living in Burlington and elsewhere in Alamance County. The ACSO Sex Offenders Registration Unit’s action on Feb. 24, 2026, demonstrates active local enforcement of reporting requirements intended to maintain up-to-date records under state law.
