They call it “Operation Boo” and it’s an annual sweep intended to keep sex offenders from contacting children or engaging in Halloween activities.
Corrections officials say they arrested 110 sex offender parolees during the sweep. That represents about 9 percent of the more than 12-hundred parolees contacted statewide on Wednesday.
Officials said today that eight parolees face new charges while the rest allegedly violated conditions of their parole.
Thirty offenders were found with pornography, including two with child porn. Thirty-one had narcotics, drug paraphernalia or violated other parole conditions. Thirteen were found with weapons.
This was the 25th year for the Halloween sweep.
