On October 29, 30 and 31, St. Mary’s County Bureau of Criminal Investigations detectives, Sheriff’s Office Patrol deputies and St. Mary’s Department of Parole and Probation agents will be conducting registered sex offender checks throughout St. Mary’s County to ensure that sex offenders, who are on probation, are compliant with Maryland Rules that require they not decorate their homes or hand out candy for Halloween.
In addition they must post a sign at their home which indicates there is no candy available at that location.
