January 14, 2015 (Jacumba Hot Springs) – Gary Snavely, a sexually violent predator, has released from a state mental hospital on January 12th and is now living in Jacumba Hot Springs (at 45612 Old Highway 80). 

The decision to release Snavely and place him in Jacumba was made by the Department of State Hospitals and the San Diego Superior Court.

Sheriff's Deputies went door to door in Jacumba Hot Springs last week to notify the community about Snavely's placement.

Snavely served several years in prison for molesting young girls between the ages of eight and 12 years old in the 1980s. For an undetermined amount of time, Snavely will be required to wear a GPS ankle bracelet and will be monitored by Liberty Health Care.

Snavely is not wanted by the Sheriff's Department at this time. California Penal Code Section 290, also known as “Megan’s Law,” permits law enforcement agencies to warn the community about sex offenders who frequent the area so that they can protect themselves and their children.
