Jacob L. Merchant, 25, of Malta was arrested by the Saratoga County Sheriff’s Office for failing to report a change of address within 10 days as a sex offender.
The charge was upgraded to a class D felony due to a previous conviction in 2023.
The Sheriff’s Office says Merchant was arraigned in Malta Town Court and remanded to the Saratoga County Jail without bail pending further action in the matter.
