We've Got a Little List

|

Fifteen years ago, someone stole Dan Wheeler's wallet. That man was later arrested for a sex offense and booked under Wheeler's name. That landed Wheeler on the Washington state sex offender list, and state officials refuse to remove his name. A local TV station reports that the Washington State Patrol, which runs the database, can't remove an alias that has been entered into the system because the offender may continue to use it.
