MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – The Department of Corrections has issued a warning after a Level 3 sex offender took off his GPS bracelet and walked away from his halfway house.

The Department of Corrections is looking for Roderick Lamoryne Hamilton.

Authorities say he just finished prison time for first-degree criminal sexual conduct, amongst other charges.

Hamilton has escaped from work release previously. This time he was placed on intensive supervised release in Hennepin County, but still managed to get away.

The Department of Corrections described Hamilton as predatory. Authorities caution he should not be approached. Instead, anyone with information on his whereabouts is urged to call 651-603-0026 or 911.

    “Minneapolis is home to nearly half of all Level III sex offenders in Minnesota, even though the city’s population is only 7 percent of the state’s total… Why does Minneapolis bear such an uneven burden? It’s a complex problem involving opportunistic landlords, a lack of local control, sex offender networking and the location of community resources. ” Nick Halter

      ..and because if they went up to northern MN the boys would take them out deer hunting and have an accident….

      All Coons look and act alike.

    I hope they catch him.

  • try keeping him in jail

    Intensive supervised release does not seem to be working.

      The zoo keepers at the DOC, and the DOC in its entirety need to be scrutinized about L3SO concentration in Mpls., particularly North.

    Predatory? A code word for republican these days!!. He does look well fed and a bit shifty.Too bad there’s no way to check his voting record!He could have been the best POTUS candidate of the bunch! He could use the 666 tax solution in his campaign.Another GOP offender already tried the 999!

    The State of MN data shows that 4% of MN is black, while blacks account for 40% of inmates. Interesting data. I wonder why Wcco does not investigate?????

    • The Thought Police are my friends!

      I love diversity!

      He was on his way to K-Mart, a sale ad read “little boys pants half off” then the po-lease grabbed him, my version of what will happen.

  • mike

  • Wormer
