Sexual predators are not permitted to stay at shelters, at least in Flagler County, Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly announced Wednesday as Florida braces for Hurricane Milton.

“Anyone that comes in will be checked to make sure that they are not a fugitive and not wanted, not a sex offender,” Staly said during a press conference.

“If you are designated under Florida law as a sex predator and you need shelter, you need to go to the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility. That’s the county jail on Justice Lane, and we will accommodate you in the lobby of that building,” he continued. “You’ve probably seen it before, I would guess.”
