(Michigan City, IN) - A man released from a Michigan prison was taken into custody on allegations he was living in Michigan City without registering on the sex offender list.
Nathan Dennis, 42, was arrested Friday on a warrant charging him in La Porte Superior Court 4 with sex offender registry violation, a Level 6 felony. The La Porte County Sheriff’s Office and Michigan City Police Department had allegedly received multiple tips that Dennis was living in the 300 block of Lafayette St. without his current address on the sex offender registry, as required under Indiana law. Police said Dennis was also in violation because his residence was within close proximity to several day care operations. After his arrest, Dennis was later released from the La Porte County Jail after posting $755 cash bond.
The Michigan Department of Correctionssays Dennis was sentenced out of Allegan County in 2015 for home invasion and assault with intent to commit sexual penetration. He was released by MDOC in September of this year.
La Porte County Sheriff Ron Heeg reminds citizens they can submit tips regarding sex offender registry violations by contacting the sheriff’s office at (219) 326-7700 or emailing svor@lcso.in.gov.
