Kenneth Petty was in federal custody Wednesday after he turned himself into the Marshals.

Beverly Hills Police Department made a traffic stop on November 15 and determined Petty was a registered sex offender in New York state but had not registered in California as required.

He was arrested and released on a $20,000 bond. The L.A. County D.A. charged him for failing to register as a sex offender.

It appears he still didn’t check in after that because now the feds are in on the case. He was indicted in federal court for the same thing … failing to register.

Kenneth’s rap sheet includes a 1995 conviction for first-degree attempted rape. He served almost 4 years in NY state prison for the crime and was required to register as a sex offender.

If convicted on the federal charge for failure to register, Kenneth faces up to 10 years in prison.
