On Thursday, August 18, 2016, the Rice Lake Police Department received a letter from the WI Department of Corrections advising Anthony Atkins, a registered sex offender, moved to the City of Rice Lake and was living at 115 E Gates St.
Atkins was currently out of jail on felony bond for a violation of his sex offender restrictions – failing to update his address. His address according to his bond showed 1111 Heart Island Parkway in Rice Lake.
