LOMIRA, Wis–The Dodge County Sheriff blames New York state law for a violent sex offender landing a job in Lomira. Earlier this week, the department issued an advisory that Derrick Brooks would be moving from New York to live at a motel in Lomira and work for Kreilkamp Trucking.
After public outcry, Kreilkamp let the Sheriff’s Office know that they did not discover Brooks’ sex offender status until after he was hired due to a New York law that prevented the background check company they use from asking Brooks about his criminal record until after a job offer is extended. The background checking firm also claims that the system New York uses charges 95-dollars to request criminal history records.
Kreilkamp says it has now fired Brooks–and he is being sent back to New York.
