Board approves Tommy Rhodes to reside in Green Bay after board hears support and history of treatment

The Green Bay Offender Residency Board approved Tommy Rhodes’s request to reside in Green Bay at a location identified during the meeting after members reviewed his history, treatment records and community support.

Rhodes told the board he has been free of new criminal charges for more than 30 years, described long-term engagement in treatment and medication for mental health, and said he was seeking a more stable environment. Michael LaCroix, who spoke in support of Rhodes, described arranging temporary housing and lending deposits to help Rhodes secure a room at a local rooming house. An innkeeper identified as Ladd was reported to have agreed to let Rhodes move into a rooming house known in the discussion as Jill’s.

Board members noted Rhodes has previously been approved to reside at other Green Bay addresses on prior visits to the board and said they were satisfied with the current placement and the supports described. One board member summarized the record: Rhodes has completed treatment, maintained compliance with rules while in custody and has not been charged in more than three decades, apart from a parole revocation early in his reentry history.

A member moved to approve Rhodes’s requested address (clarified during discussion as 1617 Boulder Street); the motion was seconded and carried with an affirmative voice vote. The transcript records unanimous assent during the roll call on that motion.

Rhodes was told to follow any conditions associated with the placement and that if he moves to a different address he must return to the board for approval.
