The La Porte County Sheriff’s Office coordinated a compliance check of a selected group of registered Sex Offenders across La Porte County Tuesday, October 29 which resulted in three arrests.
Agency personnel from the Criminal Investigations Division, Warrants Division, along with assistance from members of the Fugitive Apprehension Street Team and La Porte County Drug Task Force participated in the operation.
The unannounced check of 44 Sex Offenders deemed all of them compliant with their information on the Sex and Violent Offender Registry. As the checks were being completed, personnel also located three (3) wanted subjects.
Briene A. Henderson was wanted on a count of failure to comply, Randy L. Hurt was wanted on failure to register, and Allen E. Lucas was wanted on five counts of child molesting and one count of obstruction of justice.
The compliance check was in addition to the required checks of all 209 registered Sex Offenders residing in La Porte County.
The agency, along with all other Indiana Sheriffs, utilize the OffenderWatch Sex Offender Management System to manage and monitor the whereabouts of these convicted offenders. Citizens can access the system by visiting www.laportecountysheriff.com.
