China Grove News

An officer who spent five years with the China Grove Police Department despite a criminal history of child molestation was convicted Thursday of failure to register as a sex offender.

Twenty years after Daniel Casas Jr. received deferred adjudication probation for child molestation, a detective with the Bexar County Sheriff's Office went to his China Grove home to notify him that the law had changed and that he needed to re-register as a sex offender.
