Jefferson Benjamin Simmons, 52, of 3704 Hillcrest Drive in Raleigh, was at the McDonald's at 4121 Blue Ridge Road, authorities said. An arrest warrant indicates that Simmons violated the conditions of registering as a sex offender by going to the children's playground.
Simmons was convicted in Guilford County in 1996 of indecent liberties with a minor, according to state Department of Correction records. He was convicted on the same charge in Wake County in 1984, records show.
