LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Lakeport Police Department is attempting to locate a male transient who is a high-risk sex offender who failed to register with law enforcement.
Dean Thomas Ammons, 54, is wanted for violation of parole and failure to register as a sex offender, the department reported.
Ammons is not considered dangerous but is a high-risk sex offender subject to public disclosure, police said.
Police Chief Brad Rasmussen said Ammons was released back to Lake County from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation on March 31.
It did not appear to be part of an early release program recently instituted by the state, but was Ammons’ normal release date, Rasmussen said.
Ammons is described as a white male, 5 feet 8 inches tall and 165 pounds, with blue eyes and brown hair.
Police ask that anyone who locates Ammons not make contact or attempt to apprehend him but to notify their local law enforcement agency or the Lakeport Police Department immediately at 707-263-5491, option 1.
