Sex Offenders Stopped from Trick-Or-Treat Activities
Plenty of Milwaukee County Sheriff's deputies were going door-to-door on Sunday, but they weren't looking for candy.
"Nobody has been knocking on your door besides us today?" asked a parole officer to a convicted sex offender.
That offender responded, "no, no."
Those deputies, along with parole officers, were checking up on registered sex offenders during trick-or-treat hours.
There are strict regulations that prohibit sex offenders from participating in trick-or-treat in any way.
"They shouldn't have any lights on, they shouldn't have any candy, they shouldn't be promoting trick or treating at their residence because that's being non-compliant," said Sheriff's Detective Paul Thompson.
In fact, those offenders aren't even allowed to answer their door during the trick-or-treat hours set by the community.
Deputies say most sex offenders they checked in on were following the rules, only a few were taken into custody for disobeying.
