Level 3 sex offender apprehended
SHERBURNE – Shawn M. Fowlston, 28, Norwich, was arrested last night on two warrants issued by Norwich City Court for forcible touching – a class A misdemeanor – and harassment, also a misdemeanor, after he allegedly violated the conditions of his parole.
Following the report of the alleged violation Tuesday afternoon, a search of Fowlston was conducted involving the Norwich City Police, Chenango County Sheriff’s Office, NYS Division of Parole, Sherburne PD, and the United States Marshall’s Service NY/NJ Regional Fugitive Task Force, which subsequently led to his apprehension at approximately 8:45 p.m. in a room at the Sherburne Motel. Currently in lock-up at the Norwich City PD, Fowlston is scheduled to be arraigned in City Court at the earliest possible time.
Fowlston, a convicted level 3 sex offender, was released on parole late last month. In response, the Norwich PD had canvassed the area, handing out fliers and circulating notification of his release, all in an effort to make certain local residents were aware of his release. Shortly thereafter, an incident involving Fowlston and an unidentified female was reported to the police and the hunt began.
“It was important for the safety of our community that this person be arrested as quickly as possible to answer to the allegations against him,” said Norwich City Police Chief Joseph Angelino.
In January of 2012, Fowlston pleaded guilty to one count of first degree sexual abuse, a class D felony, and was sentenced to serve a two and a half year stint in state prison following his admission to having subjected another individual to unwanted sexual contact. He also received ten years of post-release supervision at that time and was ordered to register as a sex offender. Fowlston later pleaded guilty to an unrelated count of third degree rape – a class E Felony – in October, 2012, and was sentenced to one and a half years in state prison. It was alleged that Fowlston, in August of 2008 and being older then 21, had sexual intercourse with an individual age 17 or younger.
