Why Isn't Sonny Dewaine Tibbs on the Sex Offender Registry?

Over four years ago, two Vina teacher/coaches were accused of sexual contact with female students. The second of the two coaches pleaded guilty to a simple physical assault and did not have to register as a sex offender, but was required to surrender his Alabama teaching license.

The first of the two accused coaches was Sonny Dewaine Tibbs who pleaded guilty to sex charges and, as part of his plea, was required to register as a sex offender. Tibbs is reportedly living in the Hamilton area at this time.

Several reports have come in to us that Tibbs is no longer on the state registry. Is he on the Mississippi? No, he's not on that state's either. 

It is possible that Tibbs was given a pardon; however, that is extremely unlikely. We've not been able to find a record of any such pardon in this state, and doubt that it exists. 

If you live in Marion County or nearby and are concerned, please contact your sheriff's office. If you have any updated information on this sex offender, please forward it to us.
