The Steuben County Sheriff's Department is asking for the public's help in finding a registered sex offender accused of violating Indiana's Sex or Violent Offender Registry law.

An arrest warrant was issued on Friday by Steuben Superior Court charging Ted J. Benhower, 53, with a felony count of failure to register his residence, according to a statement issued Monday by the sheriff's department.
