Cole County Sheriff’s deputies did compliance checks on 149 registered sex offenders on Halloween throughout Jefferson City and Cole County and found 11 to be noncompliant, according to a Thursday press release from the sheriff’s office.
Noncompliant offenders will have a warrant application submitted to the Cole County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office for review, the release says.
Sex offenders are not allowed to partake in any Halloween-related contact with children, must stay inside their residence from 5-10:30 p.m. on Halloween night (exceptions can include employment and medical emergencies) and all outdoor lighting must be turned off.
