MONTGOMERY, Ala. – The Alabama Board of Pardons and Paroles held parole hearings for 23 violent offenders this week. Included among them were two with ties to Cullman County.

Parole hearings scheduled Tuesday, Jan. 7 included:

“Darren Dwight Anderton is a sex offender. The Marshall County Sheriff told WAFF Television Sept. 9, 2010 that Anderton sexually abused a 5-year-old girl. He was sentenced to four years in 1996 for that first-degree sexual abuse and two years for criminal possession of a forged instrument. WAFF reported Anderton was arrested in Marshall County in 2010 for failing to register as a sex offender. He was granted probation, but media reported that he was arrested on May 21, 2013 on a probation revocation case. Anderton is currently serving a 17-year prison sentence for having twice violated the sex offender registration law in Cullman County in 2014. He has served less than six years of his 17-year prison sentence.” (Alabama Board of Pardons and Paroles)

Anderton’s parole was denied.

Parole hearings scheduled Wednesday, Jan. 8 included:

“Dylan Keith Loyd was sentenced on Jan. 4, 2019 to five years in prison for third-degree burglary and third-degree escape in Cullman County. He has served just a year and a half of the five-year prison term.” (Alabama Board of Pardons and Paroles)

Loyd led authorities on a high-speed chase along Alabama Highway 157 Tuesday, Dec. 5, 2017. Loyd wrecked and flipped his vehicle in front of Jack’s. He was charged with two counts of first-degree receiving stolen property, one count of first-degree theft of property, one count of fleeing and eluding police and one count of possession of drug paraphernalia.

“The board granted parole on the condition that Loyd complete a Prison Fellowship program he currently attends.”
