Harrisburg, PA – Today, U.S. Marshal Martin J. Pane announced
that the United States Marshals Service (USMS) Fugitive Task Force arrested
Scott Kolocin – a 46-year old man formerly registered as a homeless sex
offender in Lancaster, PA.
On March 13, 2002, Kolocin was convicted of Indecent Assault
in York County. This conviction required him to register as a sex offender
under Pennsylvania’s Megan’s Law. Kolocin most recently registered as a
homeless person in Lancaster.
On Thursday, November 14, 2013, the Lancaster Police
Department charged Kolocin with failing to register as a sex offender and
failure to maintain his registration requirements. The USMS Fugitive Task Force
investigated and learned that Kolocin may be in the York area.
On Wednesday, November 20, 2013, at about 9 AM, members of
the USMS Fugitive Task Force checked a hotel in the 3400 block of Susquehanna
Trail, York and arrested Kolocin without incident. He was turned over to the
York County Sheriff Central Booking Unit for arraignment.
The Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006
designated the USMS as the federal agency responsible for helping local and
state authorities locate and arrest convicted sex offenders who fail to comply
with their registration requirements.
United States Marshal Martin J. Pane stated, “The U.S.
Marshals Service Fugitive Task Force in the Middle District of Pennsylvania has
a zero tolerance policy pertaining to sex offenders who fail to maintain their
registration requirements. Compliance with the law is easy. For those who
don’t, we will not rest until they are brought to justice. We owe this to our
communities.”
The USMS worked jointly in this investigation with officers
from the York City Police Department, the York County Sheriff’s Department and
the Pennsylvania State Police Fugitive Unit.
