Buchanan County deputies report eight violations of the sex offender registry law during Halloween.
Officers also arrested one person on an outstanding warrant.
Buchanan County Sheriff Bill Puett reports deputies from his department as well as St. Joseph police officers, Missouri State Highway Patrol troopers, and federal Marshals spread out throughout the county Tuesday night to check on registered sex offenders and whether they were abiding by state and federal laws which prohibit their interaction with children during any Halloween activities.
Puett says the cases have been handed over to the Buchanan County prosecutor’s office.
