An Ocala man was arrested Monday after he showed up a day late to update his registration as a sex offender.
Shaun David Killie, 33, of 4055 NW 63rd St., was supposed to re-register during the month of May. He was reminded when he updated his vehicle information in December 2019 and again in February, according to the Marion County Sheriff’s Office report.
Killie reported Monday to the sheriff’s office sexual offender unit and completed a late registration for May 2020. He had no excuse for not registering on time.

Be careful of the wood you knock on, it might be rotten or full of knots. Just a friendly reminder of savings one head it’s worth noting for public safety!! After all losing ones head is frightening and high.
Explains why a person that forgets to register gets the book thrown at them now with GPS; however nothing is done when the sheriff’s office refuses to register someone? The system is designed to Tripp people up sending them back to prison for longer terms then the original offense. Gotta fill Rick Scott; Ron DUI Book; and Lauren Entitled Book’s private prisons; since the re-offense rate isn’t frightening and high!! Frightening is what’s in the future for our country because a lot of people are high on their version of justice!!
Lauren Book will pass a law to make sure citizens are protected from people in their graves. They’ll have GPS monitors and cameras in graves/ morgues. Just in case someone pulled a fast one; never can be to careful when it comes to protecting children. I could see her trying to pass a bill like this. We know she’s safe if aliens are looking for intelligent life they’ll keep on looking.
I had an incident last year where all hell was breaking loose in my life. My wife had just had her car totaled in an accident, my mother passed away from cancer and I had a severe bout of excruciating sciatica all in the same couple of weeks. After we purchased a new car for my wife I almost forgot to go down to the sheriff’s office to register it. Luckily I got in on the last hour of the 48-hour window and did not violate. But I almost forgot. I was completely overwhelmed with physical pain, emotional suffering and fatigue at that time and I could have easily just forgotten. I got lucky! These ridiculous laws are designed to screw people over and send them back to jail over everyday occurrences. They are not based on any real threat assessment or increasing public safety. They are purely a form of harassment.
Be glad you have 48hrs. In Missouri you are given an exact time to show up. If you are not there within 30 minutes an arrest warrant is sent out for you. The only up side is you don’t have to wait 4hrs. Like you did before they started this current set up. But then you had to show up on the day during there convenient hours less meal times and breaks.
Question . Are Black Lives the only ones that matter? Do the lives of those on the registry and there families not matter. This seems to be the current consensus.
True the attitude of many law enforcement need to be drastically altered but it needs to not stop there. Politicians and the general public also needs educated so that they realize all lives matter.
True!!!
Seeing how we are forced into registering, and by doing so is performing a service to the public, than imo it shouldn’t cost us a dime. I think it’s pretty obserd that we have to not only be forced into registering, but have to pay for it as well.
No law says you have to pay to register. Why pay? If you don’t pay what can they do to you? Many counties don’t require payment.
Brevard County does not require payment…knock on wood!
Polk county just started that you pay them every time you register. I use to register with Marion County and the ones working there are not nice at all and try to set you up minute you get there. I called because they decided my first time registering there they posted fliers on mailboxes all stating predator instead of offender and I reminded them it’s bad enough to have a charge as stupid as mine register forever but they posted incorrect information on it. They asked if I wanted it fixed and redelivered uhh no I’m good. Next time they went door to door with flyers to welcome me to neighborhood. So now Polk county wants every vehicle in my situation same property different houses to register their vehicle seems unfair and I can’t drive but they are being arrested left and right for it. Seems unconstitutional to me
I think registering is an unnecessary overreaching and intrusive law but unfortunately, it is the law as backward as it is. When It’s my month to register and I haven’t by the middle of the month I start to have anxiety. Every day that goes by closer to the end of the month it gets worse. By the last week of the month if I haven’t registered yet I’m in full panic mode. I don’t know how this guy could let it go that long. Maybe because I’ve been in the Department of Corrections system for the past 25 years I’ve done my best to keep up with all the things that I have to do.

25 years and still being forced to register is harassment and punishment. If someone is a threat to society they should remain locked up otherwise leave people alone. These asinine laws are government sponsored terrorism on citizens that committed sex crimes and paid their debt. Funny how many government officials should be on a list for their sexual misconduct; but their misdeeds are paid for and covered up with taxpayer money.
Yes i personally know a court judge that should have to register!!.
I fully understand as I’ve been doing this since 05 and I freak when I even think something someone else does that could fall on me like neighbors complaining over things etc… I can’t sleep when my time comes up and it’s not fair to live like that knowing anything they say can put us back in. I agree with having a registry but it needs a long hard look into because 85% of us shouldn’t be on it
Everytime i read this kind of rediculas BS it makes my stomach hurt. So in return it is killing me little by little. It is a fact that stress kills a person. Sometimes i feel like i cant wait to die and be relieved from all sanctions. It took me 17 years to satisfy the first round of punishment. Now its been 14 years since the second round started. I was done with my sentence in 2006. I was feeling kind of happy to be done with 4 years of house arrest and 13 years probation. Almost exactly the same time i was sentenced again to register. I pray to God to make it stop!!. Thank you FAC!!.
In Florida dying will not get you off the registry. You will periodically have to rise up from your grave and go register. If you don’t they will lock you up in the morgue and not let you return to your grave.
So true it’s sad
Your pain is real. I have prayed to God to make it STOP so very many times. I want to validate you and tell you we all suffer with this unfair system. You are not alone.
Forcing a man to stop what he’s doing forcing him at gunpoint to relinquish arbitrary redundant testimony with no constitutional protection rights to remain silent after your sentence for the rest of your life an be subject to unwarranted investigation not to investigate crime against persons but to investigate the crime against yourself for not registering and putting yourself in jail. 20 years of this shit life; life to go!
There are some states (maybe all and they just don’t want you to know) that allow you a 10 day grace period if you are unable to register.
Also, if you fail to register, the sheriff is supposed to come to your house and tell you that you have to register within those 10 days.
Investigate this and you will find that what I am saying is correct at least for some states.
Registration is not more than an effort to justify a pay check for those who control it. The value of the registry has already, through numerous studies, proven itself to be useless and a waste of money.
Of course, I’m sure the neighborhood he lived in were all cowering in terror and demanding the National Guard be brought in because he brain-farted reporting that he still lived there and had no changes since his previous reporting 2 or 3 months earlier. Certainly, they feel much safer now…
/sarc
Someday the registry will be so full of people it will be considered useless by everyone. Every American will someone that’s a monster in today’s view. Look at people across the country calling for police departments to be defunded. Yes there are bad cops that make all cops like bad. Just like there’s registered citizens that have done bad things that all of us look like monsters. Who are people going to call if cops didn’t exist.. ghostbusters?
Already is and everyone knows it but u lol
This is why I always register on the first day of the month of my registration no matter how crowded it may be. I give the system no ‘in’ at getting another gold star on its forehead by a violation. Everytime there is a violation there is a party in hell.

Remember Hell won’t have government officials. I wonder if we could put them along the coasts with all of their hot air; cold as ice hearts and they all believe they are higher than God. Any storm would be scared. Capt to bad you couldn’t run for office. At least you’ve defended your country; followed your oath and have more common sense with your nuts/bolts secure than any politician.
I would love to run for office and get there just to do the job of representing the people. I might have a bit of a problem though…in addition to the current obvious. I am not into begging for money as some of these college educated, three-piece suit, leather briefcase politicians are. I don’t care about power. I care about justice, restoration, security for all, and maintaining the sanctity of the family. With those principles I probably would not fit in too well. I write a weekly blog…I’m in to my fifth year…on politics and the church. It points out the hypocrisy of both…the good and the bad. See http://www.geezerpolitics.com.
To all on the nationwide sex registry: SO’S have been judged, convicted, and found wanting. The life of a ‘SO’ is to branded and treated like a leper. SO’S are deemed and consigned to a relegated, worthless existence. Society and its puppeteers will grant no mercy or leniency, even though they claim SO’S do have rights- which they have to publicly declare SO’S rights to avoid an outright unconstitutional act. However, when and after Congress legislated the SOR, the U.S.S.C affirmed: the rights of the ‘LAW ABIDING CITIZENS’ out weight the rights of ‘SEX OFFENDERS.’ I have no doubt the ‘SOR’ will be repealed, abolished, and declared unconstitutional, but at what cost? I Cringe at what our world has become and often wonder when will ‘Totalitarianism’ rise. Yes, our state and federal governments have truly descended into the belly of the beast. Very sad indeed.
Well said Shadow dweller
Is registration a birthday present from the government telling us we’re monsters and incapable of change? In that case they can have their cake and eat it too. I wonder how many of them have done something that would land them on the registry. Oh wait the rules don’t include them because the price club is beneath them!!! I’ll sell my soul to the devil if hell would take them
Maybe he was one late because sh*t happens.
One day is absolutely ridiculous to arrest someone. The authorities are always grasping.
Arresting someone for being a day late is stupid; waste of time and money that could be spent on something useful. However if he forgot especially after being arrested once before for a similar violation that’s on him. I thought you could register certain information via FDLE website. This system is beyond a failure: force people to give information check; getting a job tougher check; housing is restricted check; not having available hours for people to register check; and re-arrest for looking at the opposite sex uncheck. Glad re-arrest for looking at the opposite sex isn’t reality. Hell I’d wear sunglasses 24/7!! Great now that songs in my head.
Same response to this one that I had to the story of the guy that attempted to register twice in April then blew it off……..
This guy cooked his own rear end…… C’mon people, we may not like or agree with all of the crap they heap on us but it’s the law of the land and it’s OUR responsibility to comply.
One person being lackadaisical and not complying hurts ALL of us. We fight daily to bring change to the draconian laws and this type of thing shoots us all in the foot…….
AMEN Roger!
Very well said !
Yeah Roger, and this episode PROVES that what registrants have to go through is BULLSHIT. The man’s residence and other information hasn’t changed. So what’s the damn fuss about a day late? Do we automatically get arrested if we are a day late with registering our vehicles with the DMV? In most cases you might get a ticket and in some cases the office will tell you to get it registered right away. Same with a broken headlight. Sometimes a ticket, sometimes a warning. With this there is no option other than ARREST for something that DIDNT CHANGE.
I hate to say it but you’re not helping the situation by sounding like an ass kisser. I think this man’s episode HELPS to prove the case of unconstitutional bullshit. A fucking day. Spare me!
Typo above “sometimes the OFFICER will tell you to get it registered right away”.
Another quick thought……. being an ass kisser aside, do you make a point of doing everything required of you within the legal time frames to avoid being arrested?
If this guy’s situation seems like such a good piece of ammo to fight these laws with then don’t let him stand alone. Skip your next registration so when you’re arrested you’ll have standing to file the appeals and fight this. I’ll contribute to your legal defense fund.
I absolutely agree that a day late is BS…….. but what I think is irrelevant. I’ll bitch and complain all the way to and from the Sheriff’s office when I go register, which is this coming week for me, but I WILL go when I’m supposed to. Do I like it, nope, but I like going back to jail or prison even less. Cussing in righteous indignation while looking out at the world through razor wire and electric fence isn’t what I want to be doing.
What change! Time for Police State Reform, hand out this like its speedung tickets
That poor guy! Can you imagine what his weekend was like?
I can picture him snapping his fingers and clapping his hand to his head Friday evening around 9:30 PM when he suddenly remembered the thing that he had forgotten to take care of that week!
If you don’t have a reminder system, please put one in place!!
I have 2 systems, and I pray to God that they always work.
1.) I have a recurring reminder on my phone calendar. If you looked at my phone calendar during my registration months, you would see a reminder set for every day of that month. These reminders continue all the way out to the end of my calendar on the current phone. (I believe it was the year 2028, if I remember correctly.) If you use the repeat functions on your phone calendar it doesn’t take very long to set up.
2.) FAC offers a FREE REMINDER SERVICE to everyone.
Simply text the word SETUP – along with your registration months – to (727) 233-4785
Example 1) SETUP Jan Jul
Example 2)SETUP 2 5 8 11
This system will send you text reminders several times during the month.
Once you complete your registration (but only AFTER!), text the word REGISTERED. This will mute reminders until your next registration month.

Every RSO’s Nightmare is they forget to register during their month. They should make it your birthday month and leave it at that.
I have said this before and i will say it again if they can arrest/charge/jail him for missing to register then the Registry is punitive contrary to what the supreme court says and there for constitutes double jeopardy
Damn it people. Law enforcement will violate us any way they can. A day late registering is against the law. A day late for me could mean 30 years imprisonment.
Not sure why my comment was apparently pulled but this guy may not have violated any law if he was never released from all sanctions of conviction.. see https://law.justia.com/cases/florida/second-district-court-of-appeal/2020/18-2552.html
FAC’s discussion of that below. Unfortunately I don’t think this individual will benefit.
