Hundreds of Michigan Offenders Arrested for Registry Violations
November 11, 2005
Police in Michigan recently finished a statewide sweep, looking for violators of the state sex offender registry law. The 55-day roundup yielded 846 arrests, with 465 facing charges of failure to verify address and 355 facing charges of failure to report new addresses.
Michigan State law requires sex offenders to confirm their addresses with authorities four times a year, with a maximum prison sentence for non-compliance set at 93 days. The law also stipulates that offenders must register new addresses within 10 days of moving, or face up to four years in prison.
As of November 1, the Michigan Sex Offender Registry consisted of 37,916 names. With police still unsure of the whereabouts of thousands of these offenders, officials are letting sex offenders know that this was only the first of many sweeps to crack down on non-compliance.
