WGNS is following up on a story we first brought you in April about the large number of sex offenders living in the Regal Inn on South Church Street in Murfreesboro. In April, we reported the total number of convicted sex offenders living in the motel came in at 14. On Monday, we visited the hotel and witnessed several unsupervised children playing outside of the building that sits directly in between a gas station and a family restaurant. We then went back to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation Sex Offender Registry to find out if the number of offenders living on the property had decreased.
Upon closer inspection, just the opposite had occurred. The number of Sex Offenders living at the Regal Inn has increased since April. WGNS documented that 17 convicted sex offenders are currently living at 2025 South Church Street, which is the address of the Regal Inn (as of 6/11/13). Of the 17, 13 of them are classified as being "VIOLENT." No other single address in Murfreesboro has as many sex offenders as the address of 2025 S. Church St. The owner of the address is "Beth Throneberry,” according to Rutherford County property records.
In addition to the 17-convicted sex offenders living on the property, two weeks ago a man was arrested and charged with rape who listed his home address as being the Regal Inn. That subject has yet to face the courts.
