Freed from the Montezuma County jail on May 14, it took local authorities four weeks before announcing the release of a sexually violent predator.<\/p>\n
The Cortez Police Department made the required community notification via a press release on Thursday, June 11. The identity of the sexually violent predator was revealed after watching a near 20-minute informational video via the department\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s website.<\/p>\n
According to police, the sexually violent predator in question is Andrew Allmon, 57, of 600 N. State St. The residence is in close proximity to Southwest Open School.<\/p>\n
Police said Allmon, a registered sex offender, was determined to present a high potential to re-offend. Allmon is currently under three years of intensive supervised probation.<\/p>\n
Authorities warn residents not to harass, threaten or intimidate any registered sex offender.<\/p>\n
Allmon was released last month after serving 631 days in jail. His release was mandated due to the terms of a plea agreement, which was reached during a March re-trial moments before an eyewitness was expected to testify against Allmon.<\/p>\n
Charged in a six-count indictment, Allmon pleaded guilty to felony attempted child sex assault and misdemeanor unlawful sexual contact charges.<\/p>\n
