High Risk Sex Offender Registers Address in Jamestown Community Alert

Jamestown authorities notified the public after Magregr Rand Obregon filed a local address with the Jamestown Police Department. Obregon was convicted in March 2025 in Griggs County on two counts of sexual assault involving a victim aged 15 to 18. The North Dakota Sex Offender Risk Assessment Committee has designated him high risk, and the registration establishes his listed residence at the Buffalo Motel, 1530 6th Avenue SW, Unit 26.

The registration notice issued by local police includes a physical description and vehicle details, which are intended to help residents and law enforcement identify the individual. Those seeking the full set of identifying information and official status confirmation are advised to consult the North Dakota sex offender registry online. The registry provides official records maintained by the state and offers the most current information about registered offenders and their designated risk levels.

For Jamestown residents the development represents a public safety notification and a prompt for heightened situational awareness. The presence of a high risk registrant at a temporary lodging location can be particularly concerning to neighbors, motel patrons, and local businesses that rely on perceptions of safety. While registration is a legal requirement designed to support community safety, it also raises questions about resource allocation for monitoring and enforcement at the local level.

Local law enforcement regularly monitors compliance with registration requirements, and they encourage residents to report suspicious activity or any concerns involving registered offenders. The immediate responsibilities under state law include updating addresses and complying with any restrictions or supervision that may accompany a high risk designation. Community groups and service providers may also be affected, as they weigh how best to communicate safety information while respecting legal privacy boundaries.

Economically, such notices can influence short term consumer behavior around the motel and adjacent businesses, and they may prompt property owners and managers to review screening and security practices. Over the longer term, transparent access to registry information and active policing can help stabilize community confidence, which is important for local commerce and housing markets.

Residents who want more information should consult the North Dakota sex offender registry or contact the Jamestown Police Department for guidance on how to access public records and report concerns.
