Sexual offender Stephen Thomas Siddons, 26, Old Town, was arrested by Levy County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Leroy Prine on Feb. 17, according to a Levy County Sheriff's Office press release.
Prine spotted what he believed was a disabled vehicle — a silver Chevy Blazer — on U.S. 19 just north of Inglis and stopped to assist the driver, whom he identified as Siddons. Siddons told him he was headed to Indiana and said his truck just stopped working. Siddons, who appeared very nervous, gave some evasive answers, causing the deputy to become suspicious.
