A registered Tier 3 sex offender is back in custody after authorities say he was located at a residence within 200 feet of a Raymondville school. According to the Texas County Sheriff’s Office, the incident began on Wednesday, November 12, 2025, when Raymondville School Resource Officer Art Williamson alerted deputies to the presence of a known sex offender near the school campus. Deputies responded and arrested Blythe Brotherton, a Tier 3 Missouri sex offender, at a residence on 148 E State Route B. Investigators say Brotherton had attempted to register the address on November 10, but later claimed he was only visiting his wife. Deputies later found him hiding in the basement of the residence. Brotherton is required to register every 90 days and report address changes within three business days. His original conviction was for Statutory Sodomy in the 2nd Degree (C Felony) in Texas County. He is currently on supervised parole for two prior convictions of Failure to Register as a Sex Offender (E Felonies). The investigation is ongoing.
