Palmdale – Deputies descended on seven residences in Palmdale on Wednesday to make sure sex offenders were in compliance with their registration requirements, authorities said.
The operation resulted in the arrest of Arthur Greene, a 50-year-old registered sex offender previously convicted of lewd or lascivious acts with a child under 14. Greene was arrested on suspicion of failing to register as a sex offender, according to a press release by the Palmdale Sheriff Station. Read it below:
On Wednesday, November 6, 2013, deputies from the Palmdale Partners Against Crime (PAC) team conducted a seven location compliance check of registered sex-offenders throughout the Palmdale area.
One arrest was made during these searches.
Arrested during the compliance check was 50-year-old Palmdale resident Arthur Greene, who was found in the 38000 Block of 30th Street East, in the City of Palmdale.
Greene was arrested for falsifying his address at the time he registered with Palmdale Sheriff Station.
Greene was transported to Palmdale Sheriff Station where he was booked on charges of failure to register as a sex offender with a bail amount of $20,000. Greene is scheduled to be arraigned on Friday, November 8, 2013 at the Antelope Valley Courthouse.
Six other locations were searched and all registered sex-offenders at the locations were found to be in compliance with the court-ordered terms for their release.

Hypothetical for you both; Suppose you or your husband just got out of the shower…your daughter decided she wanted to play a prank on Dad and decided to pull his towel off and the two little girls laugh and the daughter knew she was just playing with her Dad and then the other little girl goes home and tells her parents not knowing that this was going to ruins a man’s life forever. You both should be called for Jury Duty…and then excuse yourself for automatic prejudice. I also beleive that a person who messes w/ children in anyway should be hung by their….. But you don’t know the entire story and God forgive yoeru for Judging w/o the facts. Hope you or a loved one never experiences the outcome of an unfortunate story. What do want me to write a book here giving every detail, court date, etc. Sorry, I just wanted to point out that we are not God and shouldn’t sit in Judgement until you know all the facts. As the song says….Everyone loves “dirty laundry”. Sleep well my friends.

If he was behind B-King why was it he could not go in side and being drunk is no excuse.
Pepper says
Question. If someone is on Megan’s List and has to register at Lancaster Station, is it important they tell Dorsey the correct address? The person, released under AB109, is not on parole, and does not have a ankle monitor. The person has NEVER lived at the address that is on Megan’s Law registry. Why do some sex offenders get busted and some not?
Jay says
Severity. Child Molesters are on top. Some people who urinated in public have to register as so but obviously you’re not as worried about them .
James Woods says
I know a homeless guy in that situation – he was drunk as heck and went to urinate behind the Burger King dumpster on Lancaster blvd. and a 8 year old black girl happened to ride by on a bicycle, and being a racist as he is, and drunk as he was- he said some racist/sexual comments to her as he was urinating and so now he is a sex offender.
I guess some people just shouldn’t drink.
Richard says
Burger King on Lancaster Blvd???
soapbox journal says
The burger king is on ave I. Get your facts straight, and in my opinion any time a man or woman shows their genitals in public, they should be charged with lewd conduct and have to register.
james woods says
Opps sorry – it was the one on I.
Pepper says
Found guilty and did time for lewd acts on 14-15 yr old victim more than 10 yrs younger than him.
Someone who knows him says
I know this guy and his story and YOU SHOULD TOO! DON’T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU READ!
His niece (10 year old niece at the time) pulled a wrap around bottom towel off of him 25 years ago when he got out of the shower as he was blow drying his hair as she thought this would be a funny thing to do in front of her friend who happen to be there. The friend also being young went and told her parents about the incident and of course, all hell broke loose. No one ever understood how childish behavior can ruin a persons life. Even the niece’s parents fell under pressure from the nieces friend’s parents and turned against Arthur. This guy has the most kindest heart and would help anyone. He fell victim to the court’s because he had no money at the age of 23 to fight such a case against him and had to use a frigen public offender who had him plea out or he would face 20 years in prison. He did spend 2 years in prison; however, since the age of 25, he couldn’t get a job because of the stigma attached. Has had to live with friends who kick him out because nobody will hire someone with the “label” attached. AS FOR THE FRIGEN PICTURE, this was taken years ago and not even what he looks like . That is the Antelope Valley Sheriff’s for you. He was wearing an ankle bracelet SO….TELL ME HOW THE SHERIFF’S SAID HE FAILED TO REGISTER…LIARS! ANTELOPE VALLEY PRESS, DO YOU DO YOUR RESEARCH. THE FRIGEN COPS KNEW EXACTLY WHERE HE WAS! ANTELOPE VALLEY YOU SUCK! YOU DO HAVE THE HIGHEST RATE OF CHILD ABUSERS, CRACK HEADS, GANG BANGERS…..WHAT NO MURDERS ON THE STREET THAT NIGHT! SHOULD HAVE LOOKED A LITTLE HARDER…LIKE MAYBE A CHILD THAT MIGHT BE BEING ABUSED OR POSSIBLY FACING DEATH BY HIS OWN PARENT’S HANDS! DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE YOU BELIEVE THE FRIGEN ANTELOPE VALLEY PRESS!
Pepper says
My original question regarding why some registered sex offenders have ankle monitors and some don’t had noting to do with this particular guy. It was a general question. When Jay responded “severity”, my response was in regards to the question I asked…not this guy.
The person I was asking about was released under AB109, is not on parole, has no monitor and has never lived at the address listed on Megan’s Law
Letlow says
Your explanation on why this guy is a convicted child predator sounds quite fishy. Just why were two little girls in such close proximity to Arthur and his towel robed body? Where were the other adults? Why didn’t he lock the bathroom door? Stop trying to explain away this man’s perversions! It’s sickening!!
SoCal says
@Letlow = Agree. Too many holes in that story. No one is pressured into lying against family in such a manner. The court system and the investigators would surely have been able to draw the truth from 10 year old kids playing a prank. REALLY!!
