Parsons Police Department arrests non-compliant sex offender

(From the Parsons Police Department)

On October 10, 2023, Parsons Registered Offender Program became aware of a non-compliant, Sex Offender residing in the 2100 block of Crawford Ave. 

An investigation was started to look into the violations. Gladys Dell Correll, 51 years old of Parsons, was found to be non-compliant for multiple violations of Kansas Offender Registration laws.







 
Correll must register as a sex offender due to a 1996 conviction in Labette County for Aggravated Indecent Liberties with a Child; Lewd Fondling/Touching, that occurred in 1995. According to the Kansas Bureau of Investigation’s Public Offender Registry website, Correll’s victim was a three (3) year old female.
 
On October 25, 2023, after the investigation was complete, Parsons Police Officers located Correll at her residence and placed her under arrest. Charges have been forwarded to the Labette County Attorney’s Office for review of formal charges for eight counts of Aggravated Violation of Offender Registration and five counts of Violation of Offender Registration. 








A $10,000 dollar bond was set by a District Court Judge and Correll remains in custody at the Labette County Jail.

This continues to be an on-going investigation and citizens are encouraged to "See It, Hear It, Report It." All suspects are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. 

If anyone has any further information on this incident or any other criminal activity, please contact the Parsons Police Department at 421-7060 or call the Tip Line at 421-7057 or email at tips@parsonspd.com.
