California declined to extradite on outstanding arrest warrants, but Wayzata Police arrested Clifton Fulmer last week on failure to register charges.
Prosecutors recently charged a 45-year-old Wayzata resident with failing to register as a predatory offender, a felony. Clifton Fulmer was convicted back in 2007 of three counts of lewd conduct charges in California. His post-release restrictions require him to register his whereabouts with the State of Minnesota. Fulmer, however, was unaccounted for until a routine traffic stop late last month, according to the criminal complaint filed by prosecutors. Police stopped Fulmer’s vehicle for expired registration, and a check of Fulmer’s identity alerted officers to a pair of active arrest warrants in California—one for probation violations and the other for failing to register. According to the complaint, Fulmer told officers he did not …
