This person is NOT wanted by Law Enforcement
This community notification bulletin is not intended to increase fear; rather, it is our belief that an informed public is a safer public.
Convicted sex offenders have always lived in our communities, but it was not until the Sex Offender Registration and Community Notification Law was enacted that law enforcement was able to share this information with the community.
NOTE: Citizen abuse of this information used to threaten, intimidate or harass registered sex offenders can be a violation of the law and will not be tolerated.
