BARSTOW – A sex offender who was required to register and was out of compliance was arrested after trespassing behind a Barstow business authorities said. On Monday, July 17, 2017, at around 6:37 a.m. Barstow police responded to the 1900 block of East Main Street for the trespassing report.

When they arrived they located a subject, later identified as Curtis Odie, 44, of Kansas who was sleeping behind the business. Although he is a Kansas resident, Odle explained that he was homeless and currently living in Barstow. “The officers conducted a records check of Odle during the trespass investigation and learned that he was a registered Sex Offender from the State of Kansas,” Barstow Police Officials said. “Further investigation revealed that Odle had not registered with the State of Kansas in over a year and was therefore out of compliance.” Odie also had not registered with the Barstow Police Department, which also made him out of compliance in the State of California.

Odle was placed under arrest and was transported to the Barstow Police Department and was later booked into the High Desert Detention Center in the City of Adelanto.
