Friday afternoon, registered sex offender Charles Edward Lashlee, age 42, of Crossville, failed to notify his registering agency of the purchase of two used vehicles. He also stated he was no longer in possession of three other vehicles. He said one of the vehicles was stolen about six months ago and he did have a police report filed on that stolen vehicle; the others were repossessed.

Lashlee was charged with violation of the sex-offender registry and placed under $2,000 bond. He’s due in court on February 25.
