Yuma County Sheriff Notifies Public of Sex Offender George Williams Release

The Yuma County Sheriff's Office issued a community notification on March 13, 2026, identifying George Williams, 60, as a registered sex offender now residing at 13610 E. 48th Drive in Yuma. The release was made pursuant to A.R.S. 13-3825, the Community Notification on Sex Offenders Law, which requires the chief law enforcement office of a given jurisdiction to notify the public when certain sex offenders are released from the Arizona State Prison, accepted under an interstate compact, or released from county jail.

Williams pleaded guilty on December 4, 2014, to one count of Sexual Assault in the Fourth Degree at the Garland County Circuit Court in Hot Springs, Arkansas. He was sentenced to 72 months at the Arkansas Department of Corrections but served only 19 months, with the remaining 53 months suspended. The sheriff's office confirmed that he is not currently wanted by YCSO.

Williams is described as 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighing 150 pounds, with blonde hair and blue eyes. He advised YCSO of his current address at 13610 E. 48th Drive, Yuma, AZ 85367.

The sheriff's office classifies sex offenders under a three-tier system: Level One denotes low risk to the community, Level Two denotes intermediate risk, and Level Three denotes high risk. The YCSO press release labels Williams as a Level 1 offender, though a separate summary circulating online describes him as Level 3. The discrepancy has not been publicly resolved, and residents seeking clarification should contact YCSO directly.

Those with information about criminal activity involving Williams or any other registered offender can call the Yuma County Sheriff's Office at (928) 783-4427. YCSO also encourages the public to use the OffenderWatch program, which allows residents to register for free email alerts and search for sex offenders by area through the YCSO OffenderWatch page. The notification was released by Public Affairs Specialist Tania Pavlak.
