Convicted Sex Offender Busted After Removing GPS Monitor

August 21, 2012

A convicted sex offender from McDavid is back  behind bars without bond after allegedly removing his GPS monitoring device and wandering away from his home.

Nathan Arron Mack,  age 21 of Rail Road Street, was charged with tampering with an electronic monitoring device and violation of probation.

An Escambia County deputy spotted Mack walking on train tracks near Bluff Springs Road and Dawson Road. The deputy discovered that Mack had removed his court-ordered GPS ankle monitor. Mack told the deputy he had thrown it in the woods in the area of Mystic Springs about two weeks earlier and that his probation officer was aware. According to an arrest report, he said he was “going to hide out until the warrants became active”.

In January 2011, Mack was convicted of the sexual battery of a 14-year old girl. He was sentenced to 18 months in prison, with credit for time service awaiting trial, followed by 18 months probation. Under the terms of his probation, he was forbidden to have unsupervised contact with any minor and enter a sex offender counseling program.

Mack, a registered sex offender, was released from the Okaloosa Correctional Institution on November 30, 2011. His probation required that he wear the ankle monitor at all times.

The victim’s stepfather told Escambia County Sheriff’s deputies that the 14-year old, who had been reported as a runaway, was at Mack’s residence on Railroad Street. When deputies arrived at the residence, they found Mack and the teen girl.

According to a Sheriff’s Office arrest report, Mack admitted to having intercourse multiple times with the 14-year old. He admitted that he had picked up the Pensacola girl at the Winn Dixie on Nine Mile Road because he knew the victim’s mother would not allow the two to be together. The young girl corroborated Mack’s story, according to the report.

When deputies contacted the victim’s mother, she advised that she wanted to pursue criminal charges against Mack. The mother stated that she had retrieved her daughter from Mack at the McDavid Mini Mart the week prior and had forbidden him from having any contact with her daughter.

    Really?
    I haven’t laughed this hard in awhile!
    We understand he was 19 years old when this happened….but how in the world did he think cutting the GPS monitor off would keep him out of jail?

    REGARDING:
    “he has already been to prison for 18 months it didnt teach him nothing what mkes you think more prison time is gonna do mke things wrost”

    Prison has functions other than education or punishment. It also provides isolation to protect from dangerous people. It IS an interesting thought, though, “Prison didn’t change his behavior, so he shouldn’t have to go to prison.”

    I wonder if that would apply to serial killers or just to sexual predators.

    To the resident of mcdavid. You maybe right to a point. The girl is or was 14 and he is 21. He broke the law and he needs to jailed for a very long time. Wheather or not she she said it was ok or not he still broke the law.
