On July 31, 2014, Daryl G. Nenninger, 33, of Lawrenceville, Illinois, pled guilty in federal district court, in Benton, Illinois, to failure to register as a sex offender, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of Illinois, Stephen R. Wigginton, announced today.

On December 11, 2013, after registering as a sex offender in Lawrence County, Illinois, Nenninger traveled to the Country of Mexico and was arrested there on March 28, 2014.
