[NY Post] Going somewhere? Not so fast...
The recently freed maniac who stabbed a 6-year-old boy to death in a random Kentucky home invasion in 2015 was rearrested in Florida on Thursday afternoon, officials announced.
Ronald Exantus — who was released last week after serving just eight years for the heinous killing — was booked into Marion County Jail for violation of parole and failing to register as a convicted felon, according to prison records and the state’s attorney general.
"My office has been working with State Attorney Gladson’s office in Marion County since we were alerted that this dangerous individual who murdered a child by repeatedly stabbing him in the head was in Florida," AG James Uthmeier wrote on X Thursday.
"[T]he Marion County Sheriff’s Office and 5th Judicial Circuit State Attorney’s Office obtained a warrant for the arrest of Ronald Exantus for failure to register as a convicted felon," he continued.
"State officials are now working to send him back to Kentucky."
Exantus had been serving mandatory reentry supervision in Florida since his release from a Kentucky prison, according to WKYT.
The heartless maniac was released by Kentucky’s Department of Corrections on Oct. 1 — overriding the parole board’s recommendation that he complete his already light sentence behind bars, the outlet reported.
In 2018, Exantus was sentenced to only 20 years in prison for the 2015 home invasion killing of 6-year-old boy Logan Tipton, whom he stabbed repeatedly in the head with a kitchen knife while the child slept in his bed.
Several of Logan’s family members were also stabbed during the invasion and witnessed the blood-curdling murder of the helpless boy.
Lawyers for Exantus successfully argued in court that he was criminally insane and thus not liable for the grisly killing. He was instead convicted of assault charges and was sentenced to two decades behind bars.
However, he was outrageously released after serving only eight years of that sentence.
The Tipton family expressed fear and rage at the release of their beloved Logan’s killer. The child’s father vowed to settle the score if he ever saw Exantus again.
“He told [my daughter] that he was going to kill every one of us. So now I’ve gotta be on extra guard to protect my kids because I will not lose another one,” dad Dean Tipton told Fox56.
“I’ve had my talks with God cause I’m not afraid to tell you all, I told the court — if I ever cross paths with him, I will kill the man. I will kill him where he stands,” the dad said.

...THAT is freakin' amazing. For all its glory, the Corps traditionally has a hard time with retention - after a certain point, promotion is very hard to get.
[NewsMax] Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney raised the prospect of reviving the contentious Keystone XL pipeline project with U.S. President Donald Trump during his White House visit this week, a government official familiar with the matter said Wednesday.
A Canadian company pulled the plug on it four years ago after the Canadian government failed to persuade then-President Joe Biden to reverse his cancellation of its permit on the day he took office. It was to transport crude from the oil sand fields of western Canada to Steele City, Nebraska.
Trump previously revived the long-delayed project during his first term after it had stalled under the Obama administration. It would have moved up to 830,000 barrels (35 million gallons) of crude daily, connecting in Nebraska to other pipelines that feed oil refineries on the U.S. Gulf Coast.
The Canadian government official said Trump was receptive to the idea when it was talked about during their White House meeting Wednesday. The official said Carney linked energy cooperation to Canada’s steel and aluminum sectors, which is subject to 50% U.S. tariffs. The official spoke on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to speak publicly on the matter.
Carney mentioned building major projects and “unleashing Canadian energy" in a live video call with business leaders in Toronto on Wednesday.
Biden canceled Keystone XL's border crossing permit in 2021 over longstanding concerns that burning oil sands crude could make climate change worse and harder to reverse.
Carney is under pressure from the oil-rich province of Alberta to get a pipeline built.
South Bow Corp., the oil pipeline operator that is the owner of the existing Keystone pipeline system, didn't immediately respond to a request for comment on Wednesday.
Carney mentioned Wednesday in the call that tariffs on Canada's aluminum exports are not wise, noting the country provides 60% of the aluminum the U.S. needs.
“For the U.S. to produce that much aluminum, it would need the equivalent of the energy of 10 Hoover Dams,” Carney said. “Is making aluminum really the first best use of that power at a time when you’ve got the AI revolution, and you’re reassuring manufacturing that you want to keep people’s electricity costs down at home.”
Carney also reiterated that Canada’s relationship with the U.S., which led to increasing integration over many years, has changed.
“Our relationship will never again be what it was," Carney said. “We understand America first.”
