Green Bay group home approves resident move to new adult facility

In a recent meeting of the Sex Offender Residence Board in Green Bay, a significant decision was made regarding the relocation of a registered sex offender, Adrian Gardepi. The board unanimously approved Gardepi's move from 1700 Eleventh Avenue to 1620 Forest Glen Drive, a transition to a larger adult family home that promises continued support and supervision.

Gardepi, who has been living at his current address for approximately two and a half months, has reportedly shown no issues during his stay. His guardian highlighted that he has been compliant with his probation, which was initially set for ten years but was shortened to nine due to good behavior. The board learned that Gardepi had spent only a few hours in jail related to a drinking incident and had not been required to take any treatment classes.

The discussion also touched on the nature of Gardepi's past offenses, which date back to 1994. A lieutenant confirmed the details of the case, emphasizing the importance of transparency in the board's decision-making process. Gardepi expressed his willingness to discuss his treatment openly, indicating that he has been receiving assistance with daily living activities, including meal preparation and transportation to appointments.

The move to the new residence is primarily driven by the managed care organization’s desire for a more cost-effective living arrangement while ensuring that Gardepi continues to receive the necessary support. The board's approval reflects a commitment to balancing community safety with the rehabilitation needs of individuals with past offenses. As Gardepi transitions to his new home, the board will continue to monitor his progress and compliance with the terms of his probation.
