Registered Sex Offender Fails to Check In, Again

Kenneth L. Amber, 66, listed as homless, was arrested April 24 on an arrest warrant charging him with failure to inform police of his whereabouts, which is required of him due to his status as a Tier III registered sex offender.

It is not the first time Amber was arrested for violating his duty to inform requirement. According to information on the statewide Sex Offender registry, Amber was convicted on similar charges in January of 2009, Sept. of 2010 and March of 2012.

On April 1, 2013 detectives in the Nashua Police Department’s Youth Services Division identified Amber as again being non-compliant with his registration requirements. 

Amber failed to report the Nashua Police Department to complete his quarterly sex offender registration as he was required to do. An arrest warrant was subsequently issued for Amber’s arrest. A review of Amber’s criminal record showed that he had previous convictions for Failure to Register. Amber’s charge was upgraded to a class A felony.

A Class A Felony is punishable by up to 15 years imprisonment in State Prison, exclusive of fines.

Amber is being held at the Nashua Police Department pending his arraignment at the 9th Circuit Nashua District Court on April 25, 2013.
