MOUNT DORA, Fla. -- In what may be a first for the country, a convicted sex offender was arrested after he registered his home's address because the property is located feet away from a school bus stop, according to a Local 6 News report.

Police said convicted sex offender Shane Vermeulen moved into a home in Mount Dora, Fla. a few weeks ago.

The home sits a few hundred feet from a school bus stop, which is a violation of the city's new law preventing sex offenders from living 2,500 feet from places children frequent.

Vermeulen was arrested after state records showed he was living in Tavares, Fla., but changed his address to the Mount Dora home on July 13, just seven days after the ordinance was passed.

Vermeulen was originally arrested last year when a tree trimmer found his computer in a trash bin. The computer contained several violent images of child pornography with children as young as 2 years old.

"The very nature of this pornography, if someone would have a propensity to view hardcore child pornography involving torture, bondage and that sort of thing, I would be very concerned what they would do to a child of that age if they came across that sort of thing," Mount Dora police chief T. Randall Scoggins said.

Reporter Mike DeForest approached Vermeulen at the Mount Dora home Friday.

"Were you even aware of the ordinance?" DeForest asked.

"Yes, I'm aware that I'm well within the ordinance," Vermeulen said. "...For me to move here in the first place, probation said was fine."

Vermeulen told Local 6 News that he was living in the house several months before the ordinance went into effect.

However, Mount Dora police said Vermeulen reported his address to the state July 13 and if he had been living at the home before July, he failed to report his address to police, which is also a violation.

Vermeulen was released from jail on $500 bond and was not allowed not allowed to return to his house. But, since Local 6 News videotaped him at the house Friday, police said more charges could come against Vermeulen, according to the report.

If convicted of the new Mount Dora sex offender ordinance, Vermeulen could face up to 2 months in jail and a $500 fine.
