US EditionKentucky Governor Defends Actions of State Parole Board After Alleged Killer Released From Prison, Arrested in Florida
Ronald Exantus was arrested in Florida for failing to register as a convicted felon after his October release under Kentucky’s mandatory re-entry supervision law.

- Sheriff Billy Woods expressed his disgust that the individual resided so close to an elementary school and praised the deputies for their swift response.
- Exantus is being held without bond in Marion County and Florida officials report they are working to return him to Kentucky, as the case reignites debate about supervision of released offenders.
