JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Nov. 21 (UPI) -- Former Lynyrd Skynyrd drummer Artimus Pyle was released from a Florida jail on $10,000 bail after allegedly failing to properly register as a sex offender.
Pyle was designated as a sex offender after pleading guilty in 1993 to molesting two Jacksonville Beach girls.

He was arrested Monday and accused of failing to register as a sex offender in person as required by Florida law. Authorities also said he used an address where he hasn't lived in years to renew his driver's license, The Florida Times-Union reported.
Pyle denied any wrongdoing.
"Of course, I'm registered in the state of Florida where the incident happened," Pyle told the newspaper. "I just think they (the police) got it wrong."
