***Update Williamson is now in custody. Thank you to all who shared this post.***

The Buffalo County Sheriff’s Office is asking for the public’s assistance in locating Dustin Kyle Williamson.

Williamson is a registered s*x offender and currently has four felony bench warrants for failing to appear/skipping bail on four separate S*x Offender Registry cases. Williamson last reported to the registry as transient, and his current whereabouts are unknown.

Williamson is associated with a beige 2003 Chevrolet Impala in poor condition. The vehicle may have at least one broken window, a missing passenger-side front hubcap, and was last known to display Sierra Auto Sales paper tags instead of license plates.

Williamson may alter his appearance and has been known to shave his head and change his facial hair.

7th Annual Law Enforcement Memorial Ceremony

Some names are never forgotten.

Every year, we take time to pause—not just as law enforcement, but as a community—to remember the men and women who gave their lives in the line of duty.

The Kearney Police Department and Buffalo County Sheriff's Office invite you to join us for the 7th Annual Law Enforcement Memorial Ceremony on Thursday, May 7th at 5:30 PM, held on the northwest corner of the Law Enforcement Center (2025 A Ave, Kearney).

This year, we are honored to have special guest Tiffany Yant, who will share in remembering her father, Ross Bartlett, who lost his life in the line of duty on April 12, 2024.

This ceremony is more than a tradition. It’s a moment to stand together—for those we’ve lost, for the families who carry that loss every day, and for those who continue to serve.

We invite you to join us as we remember, reflect, and honor their sacrifice.

We will never forget.
