PULLMAN, WA – The Whitman County Sheriff’s Office is warning Pullman residents of a Level III Sex Offender living in the 100 block of NW Ann Street. Stephen Lyle Brazwell formerly lived in Clarkston. Brazwell has two separate prior convictions for Unlawful Sexual Intercourse with a Minor Under the age of 18 and Lewd or Lascivious Acts with a Child younger than 14-years-old.
“This subject is not wanted by law enforcement at this time. This notification is not intended to increase fear; rather it is our belief that an informed public is a safer public,” the Whitman County Sheriff’s Office says.
The releasing of this information is pursuant to RCW 4.24.550, which authorizes law enforcement agencies to inform the public when the release of information on convicted felony sex offenders, who are required to register, will enhance public safety and protection.
The Level III Sex Offender who appears on this notification has been convicted of a sex offense which requires registration with the Sheriff’s Office. Further, his criminal history places him in a classification which reflects the potential to re-offend. HE IS NOT WANTED BY THE POLICE AT THIS TIME.
This individual has served the sentence imposed on them by the courts and has advised this office that they are living at the above location.
The Whitman County Sheriff’s Office has no legal authority to direct sex offenders as to where they may live, work, or regularly be found. Unless restricted by a court order, sex offenders are constitutionally permitted to live wherever they choose.
Using this public information to threaten, intimidate, or harass sex offenders will not be tolerated by law enforcement.
