Delaware State Police’s Sex Offender Apprehension and Registration Unit (SOAR) has released public alerts regarding sex offenders who are either wanted by authorities or currently without housing.
Law enforcement officials are actively searching for several sex offenders who have not complied with registration requirements or failed to update their address information as required by law. Authorities are requesting community assistance in locating these individuals.
Anyone with information about the whereabouts of these wanted individuals should contact police at (302) 739-5882. Tips can also be submitted anonymously through Delaware Crime Stoppers at (800) 847-3333.
The wanted sex offenders include Shane Engelhardt, Charles Fulton, Christopher Gartner-Hunter, and Michael Viscount. Police note that these individuals represent only a partial list of currently wanted sex offenders, with the complete registry available on the Delaware Sex Offender Registry website.
Additionally, authorities are issuing public notifications about registered sex offenders who are currently experiencing homelessness. These individuals – Kennie McGhee, Allen Simms, and Alfred Smith III – are not wanted for registration violations but are required to report their homeless status.
If community members have information indicating that any of the listed homeless sex offenders are residing at a specific location, they should contact the same phone numbers provided for wanted offenders.
Police emphasize that the individuals mentioned represent only those recently reported as homeless and constitute a portion of the total number of homeless registered sex offenders in the state. The full database of both wanted and homeless sex offenders can be accessed through the official Delaware Sex Offender Registry website.
