Denny Jesus Perez-Cardenas

PLYMOUTH — A Plymouth man was arrested for allegedly failing to update information for his lifetime sex offender registry requirements.

Denny Jesus Perez-Cardenas, 27, 2535 N. Michigan St. Room 2, Plymouth, is charged with three counts of failure to register as a sex offender, all level 6 felonies.

On Jan. 24, Perez-Cardenas went to the Marshall County Sheriff’s Office to complete his first initial registration as a sex offender. He listed his address as a local hotel.

According to court documents, Perez-Cardenas was convicted of child solicitation in July 2018 in Marshall County. He has a lifetime requirement to register in-person as a sex offender annually.

On Feb. 18, Perez-Cardenas went to the Marshall County Sheriff’s Office to register new employment, indicating he started work on Feb. 14.

During the week of March 3, Perez-Cardenas called the sheriff’s office and left a voice message saying he had changed the room he resided in. Officials returned Perez-Cardenas’ phone call and told him he was required to come to the office in-person and sign change forms, which he allegedly never did.

On March 19, a Marshall County officer called Perez-Cardenas at his listed phone number and received a message indicating the phone does not receive calls. The officer made contact with parole, who said Perez-Cardenas had an unregistered phone number for quite a while.

On March 20, the officer contacted Perez-Cardenas’ employer, who said Perez-Cardenas had separated his employment on March 8. He failed to alert the Marshall County Sheriff’s Office about this change as well.

Perez-Cardenas was booked in the Marshall County Jail on March 20.
