A registered sex predator was jailed in Clay County after he tried to alter his driver's license to hide the words "sexual predator" on his driver's license, a police report said.

The Clay County Sheriff's Office said Walter Rounds, 63, placed a sticker over the Sexual Predator decal on his license.

Rounds is charged with possession of an altered identification card by a sex predator, a felony.

Police were conducting an address check on Rounds on Sept. 21. When a deputy asked Rounds for his license, he complied, police said.

The deputy saw a sticker on the bottom right of the license and peeled it off, revealing the words "sexual predator", the report said.

Sexual predators in Florida are warned not to alter their driver's licenses. Police said Rounds knew he couldn't alter his license because he's signed sex offender papers dozens of times since 1995, when he was listed as a sex predator.
