According to Paducah Police, they received information that 36-year-old Lisa Tolbert, of Paducah, charged in a bench warrant with failing to appear in court, was at a local motel. When officers arrived, they found her, and a man identified as 55-year-old James M. Mattice.
A computer check showed Mattice is on the sex offender registry in Florida, and had been listed as “non-compliant” for several months. He told officers he had not reported in Kentucky, and has been here for about two weeks.
Both were arrested and booked into the McCracken County Regional Jail.
Florida authorities told Paducah detectives they will be pursuing charges for sex offender registry violations there.
