CDCR parole agents arrested 110 of the 1,252 sex-offender parolees contacted during compliance checks during Operation Boo 2018.
Statewide, new charges were filed against eight of the sex-offender parolees contacted. Pornography was confiscated from 30 parolees checked on Halloween night. Two of those were found with child pornography. There were 31 parolees found with narcotics, narcotic paraphernalia or in violation of other conditions of parole. Meanwhile, 13 parolees were caught with weapons.
“Our thanks go to the hundreds of parole agents and our local law enforcement partners who work late hours to help ensure California’s children enjoy a safer Halloween experience,” said Jerry Powers, Director of the Division of Adult Parole Operations.
Operation Boo 2018 is an annual compliance sweep operated by the Division of Adult Parole Operations. It is conducted in coordination with other law enforcement agencies every Halloween night.
