Maine Sex Offender Arrested On Duty To Report Charge

DUNBARTON, NH — A sex offender who has previously been convicted of duty to report has been arrested again, according to police. Raymond Fields, a homeless man now located in Portland, was arrested on Sept. 25, 2017, for felony duty to report. According to police, Fields allegedly failed to notify police that he moved out of town within five business days, a requirement due to his sex offender status.
