CAPE GIRARDEAU, MO. (AP) -- One of three men charged with violating a new Missouri state law regulating the activity of registered sex offenders on Halloween will have his case dismissed.
Terry Greable's name also will be removed from the list of registered sexual predators in Cape Girardeau County.
That's according to Cape Girardeau County Prosecuting Attorney Morley Swingle.
The 30-year-old from Jackson was charged with failing to post a sign outside his home stating that he was not distributing candy on Halloween.
Swingle dismissed the charge on Thursday, after learning Greable had pleaded to a misdemeanor child molestation charge in 1997, three years before the law required registration of misdemeanor offenders.
Two other men charged with violating the Halloween law will appear in court next month.
