(Stillwater, Okla.) – A Cushing ex-convict who got out of prison two years ago has been accused of violating the sex offender registration act by failing to notify law enforcement of his intention to reside in the 300 block of W. Maple Street in Cushing.
Thomas Lee Mays, 27, was charged Thursday with failing in October to notify Cushing police and/or the Payne County Sheriff’s Office of his residence, after being required to do so since he was convicted of indecent exhibitions or pictures in Payne County in 2011.
If convicted of his current charge of violating the sex offender registration act, Mays could be given a five-year prison term and a $5,000 fine.
Mays had been released from prison in November 2012 after serving about half of a three-year sentence for the 2011 sex offense in Payne County, on which he remains on seven years’ probation, state Department of Corrections records show.
Mays served about half of a concurrent sentence of two years and 11 months for possession of methamphetamine in Payne County in 2009, DOC records show.
Mays had been convicted of unauthorized use of a motor vehicle in Creek County in 2005, for which he was given a two-year prison term in 2007 and released a year later, DOC records show.
