KENOSHA, Wis. – A 39-year-old registered sex offender with a long history of failing to comply with the state’s registry requirements is back in jail after prosecutors say he cut off his GPS monitor and stopped reporting his whereabouts.
Jeremy M. Threlkeld, who was convicted in 2003 of second-degree sexual assault of a child and is required to register for life, was in court Friday on a new charge of felony sex offender failure to update information. Court Commissioner William Michel II set his bail at $7,500 cash, with a preliminary hearing scheduled for Aug. 12.
According to the criminal complaint, Threlkeld has two prior felony convictions for the same offense in Kenosha County. Both resulted in probation. In the latest case, the Wisconsin Department of Corrections said Threlkeld, who had been homeless since March 17, was required to contact the Sex Offender Registry Program every seven days. He last checked in on June 18.
On June 21, probation officials say Threlkeld cut off his GPS bracelet and absconded from supervision. He missed his next required homeless check-in on June 26, making him noncompliant. Attempts to reach him by phone and email were unsuccessful.
The criminal complaint notes Threlkeld served six years in prison for the 2003 sexual assault conviction and has been reincarcerated multiple times for registry violations. If convicted as a repeater, he faces up to 10 years in prison.
