Sex offender tries to walk into Dale City child care center: Police

Prince William Today - 8/10/2017

A registered violent sex offender is facing a new charge after trying to walk into a Dale City child care center, Prince William police spokesperson Officer Nathan Probus said.

Jesse Wade Himes, 53, of no fixed address, faces a charge of being present on the property of a child day center during school hours as a registered violent sex offender.

Staff members of The Goddard School found Himes standing in the vestibule, looking through a window, around 2 p.m. at the center at 5490 Staples Mill Plaza, Probus said.

Himes had allegedly walked into the building and attempted to open a set of interior doors that were locked, Probus said.

When staff members questioned him, he left the site on foot. Police found him a short time later and determined he was a sex offender.

Himes is being held without bond and his court date is Sept. 18.
