THOMASVILLE, Ga. (WTXL) - Three registered sex offenders in Thomas County are facing new charges after a Halloween sweep operation.

Chad McMillion, William McCraw, and Tangee Cain were arrested during that operation Tuesday night.

The Department of Community Supervision, Thomas County Sheriff's Office, Thomasville Police, and the DA's office visited the homes of 50 sex offenders who are currently on parole or probation.

These offenders are usually those that just got out of prison or jail and are under strict guidelines, especially on Halloween. They could not have any decorations up or lights on.

This operation is also to check on the offender, making sure they are living at the right address.

Investigators say McMillian was arrested for failure to register, McCraw was arrested for violation of probation, having an electronic device that he was not supposed to have and Cain was arrested for providing false information.
