P. v. Wilson CA1/3
In February 2018, Napa Police Detective Garrett Wade registered appellant as a sex offender in Napa County. During his initial interview, appellant reported that he was transient, and that he was living in his car at a Walmart parking lot. Because appellant was a transient, Detective Wade was required to reregister appellant as a sex offender every 30 days. (See § 290.011, subd. (b).) Between February 2018 and January 2021, appellant complied with his registration obligations, and reported that he continued to live as a transient.
On January 19, 2021, appellant had an appointment to update his registration. At the time, Detective Wade was registering people over the phone because of the COVID-19 pandemic. On the morning of January 19, a police records specialist called appellant in advance of his appointment with Wade. Appellant reported that his brother had died and he was on a train to Chicago. When Wade called appellant later that day, appellant did not answer.
