Howe Police Department seeking public’s help in locating a convicted sex offender

HOWE, Texas – The Howe Police Department is asking for the public’s help in locating a convicted sex offender who is wanted for Failure to Comply with Registration Requirements.

Michael Wade Lively, 33, a convicted sex offender, was living in Howe and did not register with the police department as required by law. 

Lively was convicted in Oklahoma in 2008 for Lewd Molestation of a Person under 16 years of Age and labeled a lifetime registrant, and he has been convicted twice since then in Oklahoma for not registering with local law enforcement. According to Oklahoma state officials, Lively has not registered with authorities since January 2017.  He was last seen Friday, May 3, in Sherman.

Lively is a white male who stands 6’ tall and weighs approximately 180 pounds. He has thinning brown hair and blue eyes, and usually has a beard or goatee. He has several tattoos: the name ‘Georgina Fuersen’ on his chest, a heart on his left upper arm, a dragon on his right shoulder, a cheetah on his right forearm, flames on both forearms, and the words ‘hard hands’ on either his hands or wrists. Lively has ties to Denison and Tulsa, Oklahoma.

There is no reason to believe Lively acted inappropriately with any Howe residents.

Anyone with information on Lively’s whereabouts is asked to call Howe Police Sergeant Keith Milks at 903-532-9971, or if they see Lively, call 9-1-1 immediately.
