SHASTA COUNTY, Calif., — Authorities say a multi-agency registered sex offender compliance sweep resulted in the arrest of ten people who were found to be out of compliance with the terms of their parole or probation.

Three children were also removed from their homes as a result of the three-day operation, which took place throughout the county over the last week, according to officials.

During the operation the Shasta County Sheriff’s Office, in cooperation with Shasta County Probation, Anderson Police Department, Office of Correctional Safety Fugitive Apprehension Team and the United States Marshal’s Service focused on monitoring convicted sex offender registrants to ensure they were complying with the terms of their probation or parole.

At the conclusion of the three-day operation, officials had contacted 32 probationers and 28 parolees at their registered places of residence, Shasta County Sheriff’s Sergeant Dillon Scoma reported this afternoon. Their homes, properties and vehicles were searched to determine if they were following their terms of probation and parole.

Ultimately, ten of the registered sex offenders were arrested for miscellaneous violations according to Scoma; who explained that in addition, three children were taken into protective custody for various reasons related to those arrests.

Saying the Sheriff’s Office is committed to monitoring and insuring compliance from sexual registrants who currently live
within Shasta County, Scoma explained that the department regularly conducts monthly checks, “on a smaller scale”, through the County’s AB109 and Sexual Assault Felony Enforcement (SAFE) programs.

The names of those arrested were not released and their specific charges were not immediately known or available.
