Cass CountyCommunity NotificationDustin Gene AyresLevel 3

Dustin Ayres Is a Level 3 Predatory Offender. He's Moved Twice Inside Cass County in Under a Year.

The Cass County Sheriff's Office issued a Risk Level 3 community notification after Dustin Gene Ayres relocated to Northwest Sylvan Township, rural Pillager, on June 4, 2026 — his second Cass County relocation in about ten months. A full review of his court history across four counties shows two registration-violation felonies, a 2006 Isanti County sex-offense conviction, a Benton County case where the sex charge was dismissed and he was convicted only of burglary, and — based on a direct reading of Minnesota's registration statute — a strong likelihood that Ayres is a lifetime registrant, not someone on a fixed term.

BurnsvilleCommunity NotificationEdgar Earl LenearLevel 3

A Level 3 Offender Moved to Burnsville. The Notice Left Out His Murder Conviction.

Edgar Earl Lenear's public notice mentions a 2003 sex crime. It skips the murder conviction, the burglary, and two more felonies for blowing off his own registration — the second of which is actually why he's out of prison right now.
