MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — A fugitive level 3 sex offender who walked away from a half-way house has been arrested.

Clarence Robinson, 39, was convicted of sexual assault and multiple robberies. He was on intensive supervised release for a 1997 first-degree burglary conviction in which he also sexually assaulted a woman, according to Minnesota Department of Corrections.

Robinson had been released from prison in late October and walked away from a halfway house on Nov. 1.

He was arrested by Minneapolis Police on Sunday around 8 a.m. and is currently in custody at the Hennepin County Jail.

    From half-way house to full-way house. Hope you enjoy it freak!

  • Fed Up

    How I long for the good old days of “Western Justice” for human garbage like this guy. Seriously, why do we feel that career criminals like this will somehow become re-habilitated?

  • upset

    Why is someone like this even able to get to a halfway house?

  • Jake

    Lock this guy up in MAXIMUM SECURITY, and throw away the key. He blew his last and best chance to live a normal life.

  • Billy

    HaHa, I was thinking the exact same thing.

      Sad but True!

      • Ines Beag

        • Better yet

  • Bob

    On Intensive supervised release?? someone dropped the ball? Hope some heads swing on leting this POS out of their sight. Glad he is back behind bars.

  • See BS

    Does this story “Amuse” stupid people?

    Is it fun to release a “Level 3 Sex Offender” out of prison and watch them make pathetic attempts to get a job and have a normal life from a halfway house?

    The Sex offender Registry is “cruel and unusual” punishment

    • jackactionhero

      Being the victim of a sex offender is what is cruel and unusual punishment. They SHOULDN’T live a normal life after sexually abusing or raping someone. Period. Put them on a registry, tattoo their faces, castrate them, and don’t stop there.

  • It’s just football

    Did he attend Penn State?

  • Just use common sense as a punishment

    Let’s just bring back the breaking wheel from the middle ages. I’d be happy to volunteer as the mallet wielder…
