"An off-duty Rancho Cordova Police Department detective arrested a high-risk sex offender at a gym after he spotted the 52-year-old man chatting up a juvenile while he lifted weights.
Burk Stearns, a gang detective with the Rancho Cordova Police Department, was working out during his off-time at a health club at the 5100 block of Arden Way when he spotted a man wearing a GPS ankle monitor that Stearns recognized as the type worn by high-risk sex offenders, according to a press release.
Stearns then saw the man, identified as Jeffrey Clarke Cameron of Rancho Cordova, start talking to a boy as he was lifting weights, the release said.
Stearns identified himself to health club personnel and learned that the boy was underage. After learning the man's identity, he phoned the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department, which contracts police services to the Rancho Cordova, and learned that Cameron was a sex-offender on parole, the release said. One condition of his parole was that Cameron could not have any contact with juveniles."
I'm thankful for this cop who, even though he was off duty, did something about this. But this sort of shows how useless this technology is if there is no one there to do anything about it. He's wearing a GPS monitor, but who knows what would have happened if that cop wasn't there!
