Trenton sex offender arrested for child molestation months after prison release

Gilchrist County deputies arrested Travis Wade Mathis, 36, of Trenton, on charges of lewd or lascivious molestation of a child under 12, months after his release from prison on similar charges. The investigation began after a 911 caller reported a possible sexual battery, and Mathis — a registered sex offender — was taken into custody two days later on an arrest warrant.
