   Lumasakila Izick Patterson   
      
   One woman said she is scared and asked how she could protect herself from a   
   level 3 predatory offender moving into Crow Wing County.   
      
   Another resident asked why the predatory offender is moving to the rural   
   Brainerd address and whether he had a job.   
      
   These were a few of the questions asked during a community notification   
   meeting Tuesday, Jan. 19, hosted virtually by the Crow Wing County Sheriff’s   
   Office. This is the first community notification meeting the county has hosted   
   in a virtual format    
   since the pandemic began. About 27 people joined the meeting and a majority   
   stayed online for most of the estimated 90 minute presentation and   
   question-and-answer session.   
      
   Community notification meetings are hosted to inform the public — not scare   
   them about level 3 predatory offenders moving into a community, officials   
   stated. The offender discussed was 29-year-old Lumasakila Izick Patterson, who   
   is moving Wednesday,    
   Jan. 20, to a facility on Johnson Road in the First Assessment District.   
      
   Patterson was 17 years old when he raped a 20-year-old woman in 2008 in   
   Hennepin County, Brad Vandervegt with the Minnesota Department of Corrections   
   said in his presentation. Patterson grabbed the woman, who was walking on a   
   sidewalk, struck her with a    
   fist and pulled her into the alley behind a building. He maintained control of   
   the woman who was unknown to him through threats of violence. Vandervegt said   
   the woman reported the assault and DNA was collected from the scene.   
      
   “In 2010, Mr. Patterson became known to law enforcemcent for another crime,   
   not sex related, but that crime required DNA collection. Once that DNA was   
   collected it was run against the state’s database, and a match was made. Law   
   enforcement then    
   charged Mr. Patterson, and he was then certified as an adult. Even though he   
   was 17, at the time of the offense, any individual 16 years of age or older   
   can be certified as an adult. This is considered an enhancement to the   
   sentencing guidelines for    
   these very heinous types of crimes.”   
      
   Patterson was convicted of first-degree criminal sexual conduct and sentenced   
   to 10 years in prison, including 10 years of supervised conditional release.   
   Patterson served two-thirds of his sentence and was released from prison in   
   2017. Outside of the    
   prison walls, Patterson is not wanted by the law, but is on intensive   
   supervision 24 hours a day, seven days a week.   
      
   Capt. Andy Galles with the Crow Wing County Sheriff’s Office said Patterson   
   will be monitored not only by their office, but by DOC, Crow Wing County   
   Community Services and Minnesota Department of Human Services.   
      
   “Even though we might not be happy that he is moving into your community or   
   your neighborhood, he is being monitored,” Galles said. “We are very   
   confident in our monitoring program, or from the public safety standpoint, the   
   risk of somebody like Mr.   
    Patterson (to reoffend) is very low.”   
      
   Data shows 90% of the level 3 offenders do not reoffend, 90% are known to the   
   victim and 90% have not been previously convicted of a crime.   
      
   Aric Welle, one of four supervising agents who will be monitoring Patterson,   
   said intensive supervised release is the strictest form of supervised release   
   the state of Minnesota has and possibly even in the Midwest. Every offender   
   has different    
   conditions they have to follow and their job is to make sure they are in   
   compliance with their conditions.
