Blogging with Bryan C. Hanks

Rodney L. Coward, a sex offender convicted of two sexual crimes, has moved; back in December 2008, he was at 518C Georgetown Road in Kinston, but now he has moved to 506 E. Caswell Street.

Here are three shots of Mr. Coward, who has two sex convictions; his first conviction was of attempted rape and an attempted sex offense (1st and 2nd degree) on Oct. 19, 1993 for which he served three years and a month and a half of a 10-year sentence. Mr. Coward’s second conviction came on May 6, 1999 and was for indecent liberty with a minor, which he served 16 months.

I am firing back up the sex offender update, which I will update every day Monday through Friday. You need to know where these men and women are — and I’m going to let you know who they are.

And there’s a reward for this man’s capture!

The Lenoir County Sheriff’s Office is looking for this registered sex offender, DeAngelo D. Graham, 29. He moved from his last known address at 1711-B Rosedale Ave., and has illegally failed to notify the sheriff’s office of his move. A warrant for his arrest has been issued. If you know where he is, call Lt. Jim Ward at 252-560-0507; a reward for his capture is being offered by the LCSO.

And if Mr. Graham looks familiar — you are a certified bloggee. He was featured as a Sex Offender Update on Jan. 5 when he moved to 1711-B Rosedale Ave. You can also check out Mr. Graham’s history by hitting the link.

Speaking of which — I have been massively behind in updating those sex offenders here on the blog; do you guys like to have them here? If so, I’ll pick it back up. If not, I’ll just let it go except for cases like this. Let me know.

This is Randy Earl Blount, 37, of 501 Judy Lane in Kinston. He was convicted of two counts of sexual battery and assault on a female on Sept. 4, 2007 (two years tomorrow). For his crime, he served two months and 15 days.

That wasn’t Mr. Blount’s only trouble with the law; he also was convicted of stalking in 2004 (for which he received probation) and possessing/trafficking a controlled substance in 1997 (for which he was in prison for nearly two years).

If this face looks familiar here on the blog — it should; this is the third appearance for Donald Dunn, 34, as he’s moved three times around Kinston since we started this about nine months ago.

He was convicted of indecent liberty with a minor on April 11, 2001. He served a little over two years of a three-year sentence for his crime.

He’s moved yet again — for the 17th time since registering as a sex offender on April 15, 2003. Now, he’s living at 1509 N. Queen Street in Kinston. Yep, that’s about six blocks from The Free Press office.

If you remember, Mr. Dunn has a few tattoos — some of which can’t be printed on this blog — but one that states “I’m the bomb piggity.”

Additionally, he has quite an extensive crime history; specifically, he likes to drive with an expired license and possess drugs, something for which he’s served jail time.

This is Michael Wayne Hammerberg, who recently moved from 4539 Little Jones Road in Deep Run to 114 Mill Creek Lane in Pink Hill. He was convicted of first degree rape on Aug. 3, 1990, one of several crimes – including robbery and assault – he served time for until Jan. 28, 2004.

After being released from prison in January 2004, it didn’t take him long to get back in trouble; he was convicted of DWI less than nine months later in October 2004 and of possession of drug parapernalia in December 2004. He served a little more than a year for those convictions.

He got in trouble with the law … again … when he was convicted of two charges of assault on a female on July 6, 2007. He served one month and 20 days for those crimes.

Since being initially released from prison in 2004, he’s had 13 address updates in the N.C. Offender Registry, although he didn’t move to Deep Run until July 21, 2008.

Mr. Hammerberg has no less than 12 aliases, some of which include Michael Gooch, Mike Hawkins, Quebou Smith and Kevin Stricker. He has almost as many tattoos (10) as he does aliases. He also has four, count ‘em, four registered birthdates, so he must get to party a lot on his birthday(s).
