FLUVANNA, Va. – A violent sex offender from Arkansas is wanted by Virginia State Police for failing to register in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

Richard Benjamin Mangum, 28, is believed to be living in the Charlottesville or Fluvanna County area, according to State Police.

Mangum is described as a white male with black hair and brown eyes. He is 5’9 in height and weighs approximately 235 pounds, with a teardrop tattoo under his left eye.

The 28-year-old is also known by the aliases of Rich, Ricky and Rich Manly.
