Sgt. Charlene Giles of the
Houston County Sheriffs

they know where they are
so they think we know.”

verify the address - 515 N.
Davis Drive, Lot 15, Warner
Robins - of the registered

he found the mobile home
park had been dismantled
and all the mobile homes

Giles noted that if con
victed of failure to report,
Boatner could go back to
prison for up to 10 years.
He was convicted in 1997
of child molestation, put
