Driving News, Crime & Press Releases

The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) is releasing the following information pursuant to ARS 13-3825, the Community Notification on Sex Offenders Law. It is the responsibility of the Chief Law Enforcement Officer having jurisdiction where the offender resides to make notification to the community. Notification must be made when certain sex offenders are released from the Arizona State Prison, accepted under an interstate compact or released from the county jail back into the community. The individual who appears on this notification has been convicted of a sex offense which allows for community notification. He is not wanted by the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office at this time.

This notification is not intended to increase fear, rather it is our belief that an informed community is a safer community.
Citizen abuse of this information to threaten, intimidate, or harass sex offenders will not be tolerated. Further, such abuse
could potentially end law enforcement’s ability to complete community notifications. The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office
has no legal authority to direct where a sex offender may or may not live. Unless court ordered restrictions exist, the offender is constitutionally free to live wherever he chooses.

The MCSO Enforcement Support Division may be reached at (602) 876-1895 and is available to help you join or start a neighborhood watch program as well as provide you with useful information on personal safety. If you have information regarding current criminal activity on this or any other offender, please call the MCSO switchboard at 876-1011, or 911.
