Community Notification
Posted on 08/14/2025
The Washington County Sheriff’s Office is releasing the following information pursuant to WI Statute 301.46(2m) which authorizes law enforcement agencies to inform the public of a sex offender’s release when, in the discretion of the agency, the release of information will enhance public safety, awareness and protection. The individual who appears on this notification has been convicted of a sex offense.

Miles T. Colwell will be released from prison on Aug. 19th 2025. After his release he will reside at 1725 Cth NN in the Township of Jackson. In 2021 Miles T. Colwell was convicted of Knowingly Failing to Notify School of Sex Offender Status and Tampering with a Global Positioning System Tracking Device. In 2012 he was convicted of 4 counts of Possession of Child Pornography. Miles T. Colwell will be on probation until June 18th 2036. He will be monitored closely by WI-DOC Division of Community Corrections. Miles T. Colwell will have numerous rules and restrictions to follow including wearing a live tracking GPS unit.

This sex offender has served the prison sentence imposed on him by the courts. He is NOT wanted by law enforcement at this time. This notification is not intended to increase fear, but rather it is our belief that an informed public is a safer public.

Sex offenders have always lived in our communities; but it was not until the Sex Offender Registration and Community Notification Law was enacted that law enforcement was able to share this information with the community. More information can be located at https://appsdoc.wi.gov/public/faq
