SEX / KIDNAPPING OFFENDERS
The Kettle Falls Police Department is releasing the following information pursuant to RCW
4.24.550 and the Washington State Supreme Court Decision in State v. Ward, which authorizes
law enforcement agencies to inform the public of a sex or kidnapping offender's presence or
release from confinement when, in the discretion of the agency, the release of information will
enhance public safety and protection.
The individuals who appear on this site have been convicted of a sex or kidnapping offense that
requires registration with the Kettle Falls Police Department. Further, their previous criminal
history places them in a classification level, which reflects the potential to re-offend.
These offenders have served the sentence imposed on them by the courts and have advised the
Police Department that they will be living in Kettle Falls. They are not wanted by the police at this
time, unless probable cause or an arrest warrant is specifically listed.
Law enforcement has no legal authority to direct where an offender may or may not live. Unless
court ordered restrictions exist, these offenders are Constitutionally free to live wherever they
choose.
Sex and kidnapping offenders have always lived in our communities; but it wasn't until passage of
the Community Protection Act of 1990 (which mandates sex offender registration) that law
enforcement even knew where they were living. In many cases, law enforcement is now able to
share that information with you. Citizen abuse of this information to threaten, intimidate or harass
registered sex/kidnapping offenders will not be tolerated. Further, such abuse could potentially
end law enforcement's ability to do community notifications. We believe the only person who wins
if community notification ends is the sex offender, since sex offenders derive their power through
secrecy.
To view more information on each of these individuals, please read the disclaimer below the
names list.
