Marshals targeted Ballard, Calloway, Carlisle, Fulton, Graves, Hickman, Marshall and McCracken counties. Arrests were made if the person was immediately found to be non-compliant, or if other illegal activity was suspected.
The ten people who were arrested are Timothy Davenport of Almo; Charles Harding of Murray; William Jeffrey of Fulton; Andre Patton of Fulton; Lawrence Williams of Hickman; Clayton Davis of Wingo; Kenneth Dean of Benton; William Alford of Paducah; Kenneth Cooper of Paducah; and Craig Lindsay of Paducah.
In addition to the ten arrests, officers seized over $10,000, one handgun, 43 grams of crack cocaine, one mobile meth lab, and one Corvette.
The Kentucky Sex Offender Registry will be reviewing the information gathered in the operation to determine if others in their system have been non-compliant.
The Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006 requires people who have been convicted of sex offenses to register as a sex offender in the jurisdiction(s) where they live, work, and go to school, and, in many cases, also in the jurisdiction(s) where they were convicted. Sex offenders who fail to register or keep their registrations current may be subject to up to ten years imprisonment. If they commit a violent crime while non-compliant, they could be sentenced to 30 years imprisonment.
