LANCASTER\/PALMDALE \u2013Several GPS-monitored sex offenders, who tested positive for drugs last week, were rounded up and arrested Tuesday morning, authorities said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe arrested six in Lancaster and one in Palmdale,\u201d said Larry Dorsey, Supervisor at the Antelope Valley Parole Office. \u201cWe subsequently booked them into the Lancaster Station for violation of parole.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dorsey said the seven sex offenders arrested Tuesday are part of more than two dozen parolees who failed random drug testing last week.<\/p>\n

The drug tests were administered when parole agents called the area\u2019s 186 GPS-monitored sex offenders into the Antelope Valley Parole Office for a \u201cprofile meeting,\u201d Dorsey said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe took new photos and put them into the computer, we checked their GPS ankle bracelet to ensure that the equipment was working properly, and we tested them [for drugs],\u201d Dorsey said. \u201cAs a result of that test, we had approximately 27 test positive for either methamphetamine, cocaine or marijuana.\u201d<\/p>\n

Around 9 a.m. Tuesday, parole agents, assisted by Lancaster Station\u2019s Target Oriented Policing (TOP) team, tracked parole violators by their ankle bracelets, rounded them into a sheriff\u2019s van, and booked them at the Lancaster Station, Dorsey said.<\/p>\n

Dorsey said the arrests will continue until about half of the 27, who tested positive for drugs, are in custody. The others may be ordered to attend the AV Parole Office\u2019s 20-day drug rehabilitation program, Dorsey said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe basically do this to keep these guys on their toes\u2026\u201d Dorsey said. \u201cWe just like to let them know that we\u2019re out there.\u201d<\/p>\n
