- The Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office, Indiana Department of Correction, Evansville Police Department and the United States Marshal’s Fugitive Task Force took part in a sex and violent offender verification detail on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of this week. The purpose of this detail was to perform periodic verifications on registered offenders within Vanderburgh County in order to ensure the authenticity and truthfulness of their reported addresses. During the operation, 106 registered sex or violent offenders were checked and verified.
As part of the operation, the Sheriff’s Office applied for six arrest warrants on registrants and parolees who were known to be in violation. Three additional registrants were discovered during these verifications to be in violation and warrants were obtained for their arrest as well. The Sheriff’s Office is also following up on several submitted tips on registrants from concerned citizens. If any of these tips lead to a violation of the registry, charges will be filed accordingly.
The Sheriff’s Office extends thanks and appreciation to the Indiana Department of Corrections local Parole Office, the Evansville Police Department, the U.S. Marshal’s Service and theVanderburgh County Prosecutor’s Office for participating in or assisting with this operation.
