Huntsville Police Detail Nets 24 Offenders for Sexual Misconduct
Huntsville, Alabama (August 21, 2008) Officers from the Huntsville Department’s Community Relations Unit conducted a week long undercover detail at the Overlook located at 2251 Governors Drive. This detail was in response to complaints from citizens about male homosexual activity that has been taking place at one of the community’s most scenic sites. The Huntsville Police Department has partnered with other city resources to make some environmental changes and to provide a zero tolerance for this type of activity taking place at any of our parks. Persons that are arrested will be charged with Sexual Misconduct and can face fines, jail time, probation, and be required to register as sex offenders after their conviction.
Huntsville Police have obtained warrants for twenty two offenders and made two on site arrests for Sexual Misconduct in the short time they have conducted their operation. The offenders are being contacted to come to the Police Department to turn themselves in or face officers coming to their home or business and being arrested. All offenders were trespassed from all city parks for a period of one year and will face being arrested if they violate that trespass warning. Huntsville Police want to ensure the public that we will continue to target all locations that are being used for criminal and immoral activities in Huntsville.
The following is a list of offenders that warrants have been obtained or an arrest has been made:
