Erin Laprairie Jr. knows the rules, no doubt. Abiding by them is what he allegedly has difficulty with.

Laprairie, 37, of Deville is a convicted Tier 1 sex offender. Among charges in his arrest Aug. 25 is contributing to delinquency of a minor.

Convicted in September 2015 for indecent behavior with a juvenile, Laprairie has been required to register as a sex offender since released from that sentence.

Records indicate a spotty approach to that requirement.

In his current case, Laprairie is also charged with five counts of contempt of court, flight from an officer and several traffic violations. His bail is set at $178,000. He remained incarcerated Sunday night.

At the time of his arrest Laprairie was out of jail on a $25,000 bond posted after his May 30 arrest on failure to register as a sex offender and, presumably, those same five counts of contempt.

Eight months previous, October 2022, Laprairie was booked with two counts of failure to register, two counts of resisting an officer, a contempt charge and several allegations related to driving a motorcycle, including allegedly having no driver’s license.

His alleged disdain for registering as a sex offender led to failure to register charges on October 2021. He was also charged with resisting an officer and simple assault.

That arrest came just 12 days after he posted $15,600 bond and was released from a Sept. 24 arrest.

Among the charges: failing to register, encouraging/contributing to child delinquency, negligent injury and several traffic charges.

Five other arrests occurred in 2019 and 2020. Contempt of court is a constant among them.
