A registered sex offender is officially listed as living at the Lehigh Acres Walmart.
Isaiah Jones, 27, was convicted of using a computer to lure children for sex, leading to his status as a sex offender.
This month, Jones reported the Walmart in Lehigh Acres as his main residence.
Jones has a history of trouble with the law. In 2011 he was arrested twice; once for battery and domestic violence. Seven months later he was arrested for disorderly intoxication and causing a disturbance. In 2012, Jones was busted and charged with “using a computer to lure a child to engage in sex.”
Jones listed his status as “transient”, or homeless, and registered his main home address as the Walmart location in Lehigh Acres.
A manager at the Walmart told the Gazette that he “knew nothing about Jones living there” and promised he “will tell his store manager” and they will “take action”.
Meanwhile, some shoppers we talked to plan to steer clear of these location until they know the coast is clear.
The Lee County Sheriff’s Office said their PIO office Jones’ move is completely legal. They said it’s up to Walmart officials to serve Jones with a trespass notice in order to have him kicked off the property.
A lot of homeless people live near the Walmart.
