Oregon County Sheriff’s Office Do Not Trick or Treat Notice

Ahead of Halloween, Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway has submitted a press release reminding Missourians of the state’s strict requirements for registered s*x offenders to help ensure children’s safety during trick-or-treating. The Press Release link can be found here: https://ago.mo.gov/attorney-general-hanaway-reminds.../ .
Under Missouri law, registered s*x offenders must follow these restrictions on October 31:
No Halloween-related contact with children. Offenders are prohibited from hosting or participating in any Halloween activities involving children.
Turn off outdoor lights and decorations. All exterior residential lights must be turned off after 5:00 p.m.
Stay indoors. Offenders must remain inside their residence from 5:00 p.m. to 10:30 p.m., unless leaving for work, a medical emergency, or similar urgencies.
Missouri law, RSMo § 589.426.1, also states that registered offenders must place a “No candy or treats at this residence” sign in their yard. However, a recent Missouri court ruling removed this sign requirement. The Attorney General’s Office has appealed that decision to the Eighth Circuit to maintain every available safeguard for Missouri children.
Missourians who observe a registered s*x offender violating these restrictions should immediately contact local law enforcement to report the violation. Reports can also be directed to the Missouri S*x Offender Registry Enforcement Unit, where tips and complaints can be submitted online. Prompt reporting helps ensure swift enforcement and the protection of children across Missouri communities.
The Attorney General’s Office urges parents and guardians to remain vigilant by reviewing Missouri’s public s*x offender registry, where anyone can search by name, address, or ZIP code to identify registered offenders in their area. The link can be found here: https://www.mshp.dps.missouri.gov/CJ38/searchRegistry.jsp .

On October 20, 2014, Police Officer Eddie Johnson was killed in a single-vehicle crash while responding to a structure fire at a home in Royal Oak, approximately six miles west of Alton.
During the response, his patrol car left U.S. 160 five miles west of Alton, struck a driveway entrance, and overturned several times. It is believed that Officer Johnson was not wearing his seat belt at the time.
Officer Johnson also served as the fire chief of the Alton Volunteer Fire Department as a reserve deputy with the Oregon County Sheriff's Office. He is survived by his three children.
