The Duluth Police Department has released a notification regarding Levorn Melvin Fisher, a high-risk predatory offender, who has transitioned back into the community after serving his sentence for engaging in sexual contact with a female teenager. The notification, disseminated in accordance with Minnesota Statutes 244.052 and 253D, is part of a community safety effort by law enforcement to enhance public protection and awareness.
Fisher, a black male born on August 4, 1990, stands at 5'8" and weighs 209 lbs, with brown eyes and black hair. His release from prison on April 25, 2024, comes after a conviction for Criminal Sexual Conduct for which he utilized attention and affection to develop a relationship of trust, enabling unmonitored exploitation. "Levorn Fisher engaged in sexual contact with a known female teen. Contact included penetration. Fisher used attention and affection to develop a relationship of trust that allowed him to attain and exploit unmonitored contact," the Duluth Police Department stated.
Residents in need of personal safety information in light of Fisher's integration can contact the Duluth Police Department at 218-730-5400. In cases of criminal activities involving Fisher or other individuals, the department urges immediate contact with emergency services via 911. Supervision Agent Corey Reed, reachable at 218-733-2850, is assigned to monitor Fisher's post-release activities.
It is imperative to recognize that while Fisher has been convicted of an offense that necessitates registration under Minnesota Statutes 243.166 or 243.167, law enforcement cannot dictate his place of residence or employment. The registration and community notification processes were instituted post the Registration Act, enhancing the police's ability to track and share information about such individuals, aiming not to invoke fear but to prompt awareness. Nevertheless, "Abuse of this information to threaten, harass or intimidate a registered individual is unacceptable and such acts could be charged as a crime," the announcement from the Duluth Police Department cautioned.
For further details regarding Fisher's notification and the provisions laid out by Minnesota statutes, interested parties are directed towards the full public notification document, hosted online at the Duluth Police Department's official website.
