LOWVILLE, NY — Jason R. Hatcher, age and address not provided by police, was charged at 2:35 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 22, for failure to verify and complete an annual address verification form and submit it to the Criminal Justice Services, a felony, according to the Lowville Village Police Department.

Police said Mr. Hatcher is a level 1 sex offender and is required by law to verify and complete an annual address form and keep his address updated.
