Miami County Officials Conduct Sex Offender Address Verification Operation

The below listed federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies conducted a sex offender address verification operation in Miami County starting at 6 A.M. this morning and concluding at 3 P.M. The operation was to verify that those sex offenders required to register with the Sheriff’s Office were in compliance with the law. Miami County has a total of 168 registered sex offenders. The following preliminary numbers resulted from the combined agency sweep;

  • 8 offenders were found to not be in compliance. Incident reports have been filed and detectives assigned to follow-up and if substantiated file charges for failure to register proper address. All offenses are felonies.
  • 32 offenders were not home. Miami County road patrol deputies will be following up to ensure they are in compliance.
  • 128 offenders were found to be in compliance with the registration requirements.
  • One offender was arrested on an unrelated driving under suspension warrant and incarcerated in the Miami County jail.
  • One offender was found to have a shotgun and rifle in his residence while being under a weapons disability. Relatives at the residence claimed the firearms belonged to them and not the offender. Deputies seized the firearms pending an investigation and owner trace on the firearms and further consultation with the county prosecutor.

Miami County deputies have an active nationwide warrant on Jason A. Perkins for failure to register address (felony charge) and failure to pay child support. The failure to register warrant has been active since 2009. Miami County deputies request the public’s assistance in locating Perkins.
