Sex registry violation results in 3-year sentence

In October, Thomas Jefferson Lance pleaded guilty by information to a charge of violation of the sex offender registration law and received a two-year suspended sentence with 90 days to serve and the balance on supervised probation.

Four months later, Lance, 64, stood before Criminal Court Judge Shawn Fry charged with violation rules and requirements of the sex offender registry law.
