CBPD responded to a report of an assault in progress and the man fled when they arrived. Paul Thomas was placed under arrest. He has several active warrants for Failure to Appear and Failure to Register as a Sex Offender. The jail said they would only book & release so CBPD just gave him a citation and released him at the station. No big deal, just a violent sex offender who disregards the judicial process and is allowed to wander our streets completely unchecked.
