A convicted sex offender in Murfreesboro has been arrested after police found him to be within 1,000 feet of a school. A GPS ankle monitoring bracelet showed that he was only 439-feet away from Central Magnet School for approximately one hour. The GPS showed he was in the 600 block of Vine Street.

When the arresting officer made contact with 24-year old Anthony M. Carney, he was at a home in the Blackman area. Officers say he was alone in a room with juveniles.

In 2010, Carney was convicted of "Criminal Attempt to Commit Aggravated Sexual Battery."

Carney was charged with violating the Sex Offender Registry. He will be in court on August 11, 2015.
