The Livingston County Sheriff’s Office (LCSO) has received information from the Missouri Department of Corrections (DOC) on the release of Michael Ryan Gale, 29 from prison.

Mr. Gale completed all of his sentence from Livingston County for Attempted Forcible Sodomy and 4 counts of Property Damage in the 1st degree. Because Mr. Gale completed all of his sentence he is not mandated to report to the DOC where he is moving and is not under supervision of a parole officer. However, Mr. Gale is mandated by state and federal law to register as a sex offender.

According to the letter from DOC there is concern regarding the potential Mr. Gale may reoffend.  Records show Mr. Gale has contacts/family/friends in the Livingston County and Cameron Missouri area. Mr. Gale was released from the South Central Correctional Center this week.

Currently Mr. Gale’s whereabouts are unknown and as of this press release there is no entry on the Missouri State Highway Patrol website showing Mr. Gale has registered as a sex offender in Missouri. If you are aware of where Mr. Gale is residing, please call the LCSO at 660-646-0515 so that we may assist with registration requirements.
