ENGLEWOOD — Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office deputies arrested a man who is a designated sex offender on several charges after seeing him driving a motorcycle with a minor who had no helmet, reports show.
Sean Cody Sickler, 40, of 8273 Herbison Road, North Port, failed to comply with sex offender registration laws, court records show.
CCSO Cpl. Andrew Schulte saw Sickler driving a Kawasaki motorcycle on Placida Road on Friday, reports show. There was a “young juvenile” on the back who was not wearing a helmet, he reported.
Schulte reported that he knew Sickler did not have a valid motorcycle endorsement, reports show.
He pulled over Sickler at Maryland Avenue and 10th Street in Grove City, reports show.
Schulte found Sickler was stopped Aug. 8 driving a BMW. He did not report the vehicles to the Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office, “as required by his sexual offender status,” the deputy reported.
Schulte also learned Sickler had been staying at a home on the 3200 bloc of Cindy Lane in Englewood, which he also didn’t report to law enforcement, the report shows.
Sickler was arrested and charged with three counts of failure to comply with registration laws, driving a motorcycle with no license, and failure to register a vehicle. He was also issued a citation for riding with a child who had no helmet.
Sickler was booked into the Charlotte County Jail. He was released on bond Saturday. His next court appearance is set for Oct. 5 at the Charlotte County Justice Center.
