LISBON, N.D. (AP) — Lisbon city leaders are looking to ban sex offenders from living in city parks, after a convicted sex offender from Mandan moved to the southeast North Dakota city and lived out of a camper in a popular park.
The offender has since been arrested for not notifying authorities about where he was living, as is required by law. But Police Chief Jeannette Persons told WDAY-TV that having a sex offender living for weeks near areas where children played alarmed many in the community.
The City Council next month will vote on a proposed ordinance to outlaw sex offenders from living in city parks.
