The Levy County Sheriff’s Office has completed a month-long operation identifying non-compliant sex offenders and sexual predators residing in Levy County. The initiative resulted in seven arrests and three additional on-going active investigations which resulted in arrest warrants being issued. This initiative reinforces our agency’s unwavering commitment to public safety and offender accountability.

This operation began with coordinated address verification checks of the 209 registered offenders in the county. These checks were performed by LCSO School Resource Deputies while our children enjoyed summer vacation. The checks were strategically planned and executed to ensure sex offenders and predators were in compliance with the Florida Statutes that govern registration and residency requirements. Any identified violation was immediately referred to the Criminal Investigations Division Sex Offender Compliance detectives for follow-up.

Detectives thoroughly investigated and ultimately identified and charged the following individuals found to be in violation of sex offender registration laws.

Reginald Symonette
Percy Spinner
Walter Aldridge
Elijah Wood-Toher
Lawrence McDonald
James Foster
Robert Slone

Offenses included:

Failing to report when a registered residence became vacant
Not registering as required with the Sheriff’s Office
Failing to notify authorities after moving from a registered address
Not reporting internet identifiers such as email addresses or social media accounts

The Levy County Sheriff’s Office remains committed to ensuring the safety of our residents through proactive enforcement, community partnerships, and relentless investigation into those who fail to comply with sex offender registration laws.
