"Convicted Child Molester Arrested for Setting up 'Free Fentanyl' Camp near San Francisco School"

A homeless convicted sex offender living near a Catholic grade school in San Francisco was arrested for creating a public nuisance after posting a sign offering "free fentanyl." Despite being offered housing, the man refused and was cited for a misdemeanor. However, due to a medical complaint, the police decided to delay pursuing the probation violation, and he was released from custody. The incident highlights the San Francisco Police Department's return to enforcing lower-level laws against camping on public sidewalks as part of their approach to dealing with the city's unhoused population.

Parents and advocates spoke out against the heavy-handed response by the police, calling for an internal investigation and accountability. The Police Commission will discuss the arrests at next week's meeting, and body-camera footage and a full report will be made available.
