Sex Offender Released From Century Correctional Back Behind Bars
March 28, 2012
A convicted sex offender released from Century Correctional Institution has been arrested for failing to register with the state.
Kenneth Lamar Cobb, 36, was released from Century Correctional on February 27 with a GPS ankle monitor. According to an Escambia County Sheriff’s Office report, he visited the Escambia County Main Jail on that day to register as required as a sex offender, listing the Executive Inn on Pensacola Boulevard as his permanent address.
But the following day, he cut off his required GPS monitor and was listed as absconded by his probation officer. An address verification conducted by the Sheriff’s Office found that Cobb had spent only one night at the Executive Inn before checking out.
Cobb was arrested Monday on charges of failing to report a change in his address and failing to report vacating a permanent residence. He was booked into the Escambia County Jail with bond set at $30,000.
Cobb was sentenced to prison in 2009 as sexual offender for battery and false imprisonment of a minor.

This is what makes people so disgusted with the legal system. This man didn’t learn his lesson the first time and he’s eligible to post bond and be free again. Where is the logic in that kind of law?
REGARDING:
“He shouldn’t have been let out in the first place…”
“01/06/2009 DEFT QUALIFIES UNDER THE ANTI-MURDER ACT
02/27/2009 STATE PRISON: 45.5 MONTHS UNDER CT. 1, CT. 3-EACH COUNT CONCURRENT
02/27/2009 WITH CREDIT FOR 156 DAYS “
45.5×30=1365 days
1365-156=1209 days
1209/365=3.31 years
Call it three years and 6 months
February 27, 2009 + 3 years and 6 months = August 27 2012
It does look like they jumped the gun a wee bit releasing this gentleman.
Poor thing.

He shouldn’t have been let out in the first place…
If sex offenders are up for parole or early release for “good behaviour”. Then to make sure they are no longer a threat to the community. I suggest chemically castrating them. It will take away their sex drive.
There are so many extreme sex offenders out there, that before they are released (and before they have a chanced to re-offend) this should be a part of their parole agreement.. Especially those up for early release.
Since the law inforcement can not keep track of them at all times. It will defenately take away the urges that are out of control.
Yes I can hear the Human Rights people about to pounce on this one, but what about our Humans Rights? When women and especially children can not walk around in daylight and still be in fear.
If they want their freedom back, it would be a small price to pay. That goes for women sex offenders as well.
“Cobb was arrested Monday on charges of failing to report a change in his address and failing to report vacating a permanent residence.”
What about charges for cutting off the leg band fleeing? He should never have been released to begin with. Though, I am quite tired of paying for scum like this to sit in jail and/or prison not having to worry if they will have a meal or a hot shower or somewhere to sleep! Makes me sick!

“he cut off his required GPS monitor ”
It was cramping his style

Well anyone who had a hand in EVER letting out a sexual offender should
be very very ashamed of themselves. Everyone talkes about religion but…..
That is just the definition of stupidity! Everything that he could have done wrong after being release he did in one day! … I wonder if he really thought he could get away with it … probably.
