Missouri Law Enforcement Work to Keep Registered Sex Offenders in Check on Halloween
October 31, 2022 5:11AM CDT
(MISSOURINET) – Some of Missouri’s more than 22-thousand registered sex offenders will get a visit today from law enforcement. Officers will be checking to see if offenders are following Halloween rules. Kevin Merritt, executive director of Missouri Sheriffs United, says registered sex offenders are required to be in their homes between five and 10:30 p.m., with the lights off, and a sign posted saying “No candy available”.
Missouri has three levels of sex offenders, but Merritt says the Halloween restrictions apply to all of them. Those who fail these compliance checks could be ticketed or put in jail.
