OK, here we have a homeless sex offender. Question: How do homeless persons remember what today is, what time it is, or other similar facts? If you were homeless where would you go to urinate or do the other? A reader raised these questions with respect to Thomas Pauli who froze to death in Michigan, here again those questions are relevant. Has the sex offender been unfairly targeted and will he be convicted of what is mentioned?
2-4-2009 New York:
A convicted sex offender staying at the trailer located on the grounds of the Suffolk County Jail in Riverside was arrested by Southampton Town Police last week for failing to register his home address with authorities.
____, 47, of Riverhead was arrested by Town Police at 10:04 p.m. last Thursday, January 29, and charged with failure to register as a sex offender, a felony, according to police. Mr. ___, who is a level three sex offender, was arrested at the trailer, which serves as a temporary shelter for homeless sex offenders. The Riverside trailer is one of two such facilities operated by the Suffolk County Department of Social Services. The second is located in Westhampton.
Southampton Town Police officer Lois Smith, who monitors all registered sex offenders in the municipality, explained that Mr. ___’s registration had lapsed.
“We keep records, we review records, we’re familiar with what everyone is doing and when they’re doing it,” she said. “When someone doesn’t register, we know it.”
Mr. ____ was arraigned Friday at Southampton Town Justice Court. His bail information was not immediately available.
The New York State Office of Sex Offender Management website notes that Mr. ___ was arrested on August 22, 2002, and charged with third-degree attempted sodomy, a misdemeanor. He was later sentenced to nine months in prison. The age and sex of Mr. ___’s victim were not listed on the website.
--Note: What does his past have to do with today's circumstances, what happened today? Nothing, it is raised to taint the offender and to cause the public to be prejudiced against the registrant.
Mr. ____ was also arrested October 20 by Riverhead Town Police after he was observed urinating outside police headquarters on Howell Avenue, according to authorities. ..News Source.. by Jessica DiNapoli
