Mario D. Frederick - Repeat Sex Offender - Repeatedly

Sheriff's Office officials on Monday caught a registered sex offender who had been running from law enforcement.

Mario D. Frederick had been charged by Sheriff's Investigator Jeffrey Morlock with a Violation of the Sexual Offender Registry for having contact with a former victim, according to a news release from the Sheriff's Office.

Deputies from the Sheriff’s Office, as well as the U.S. Marshals Service Fugitive Task Force in Nashville had been trying to locate Frederick since the warrant was issued March 11.

On Monday, Deputy Mike Cereceres tried to stop Frederick on state Highway 48/13, the release said.

Cereceres was responding to an indecent exposure call where the victim reported she was being followed. Cereceres located Fredrick and his vehicle, both matching the victim's description.

Frederick sped away, and Cereceres lost sight of his vehicle on Seven Mile Ferry Road. When he found Frederick’s vehicle, it had run off the road into a creek bed.

Montgomery County EMS and Volunteer Fire Services responded.

Frederick refused treatment and also refused transport by EMS to the hospital.

Deputies at the scene decided took Frederick to the emergency room at Gateway Medical Center for evaluation prior to booking. Frederick is currently being held at Vanderbilt University Medical Center for medical observation and will be taken into custody when he is released.

Frederick was previously convicted on three charges of indecent exposure. He also has five cases of indecent exposure pending in federal court stemming from incidents on Fort Campbell.

In addition to the warrant for the Sexual Offender Registration violation, Frederick is charged with felony evading arrest, reckless driving, and other traffic offenses.
