Dallas Co Sheriff Badge

The Dallas County Sheriff’s Office released information recently on two individuals on the Iowa Sex Offender Registry living in the county.

Michael James Draman, who lives in the 200 block of Walnut Street in DeSoto, is on the registry as a result of a 2018 conviction of third degree sexual abuse. Additionally, Randy August Johnson, who lives in the 19000 block of S Avenue near Dallas Center, is on the registry due to a 2018 conviction of indecent exposure. Iowa law authorizes a criminal or juvenile justice agency to notify the public when a person required to register as a sex offender enters their community. The notification is intended to protect the public and make them aware of the individual.

However, any action taken by anyone against the person, including vandalism of property, verbal or written threat of physical harm, or physical assault against the person or their family can result in the arrest and prosecution of the offending individual.
