Revolving Door: Rockland Police Bust Sex Offender for the Same Crime a Month Later

Why can't they just escort him to the Piscataqua River Bridge?

The Rockland Police Department arrested an Arkansas sex offender on Sunday for failing to comply with sex offender registration, less than a month after they arrested him for the same crime.

Police conducted a traffic stop on Sunday for a vehicle driven by Jonathon Daugherty, 23, of Arkansas.

During the stop, they learned that he was allegedly refusing to register as a sex offender according to Maine law and violating his conditions of release by failing to comply with court-ordered check-in requirements.

Officers took Daugherty into custody and charged him with violating conditions of release and failure to comply with the sex offender registry.

Daughtery was out on bail following a November 8 arrest for failing to register as a sex offender, failure to provide a correct name and date of birth, and refusing to submit to arrest or detention. He is also subject to a non-extraditable arrest warrant from Arkansas for allegedly failing to comply with that state’s sex-offender registration requirements.

Last month, police discovered Daugherty sleeping in a van with no license plates outside a Rockland business.

He allegedly provided a false name, though police were able to identify him. He allegedly attempted to flee on foot during that investigation, but he was quickly apprehended and taken into custody.
