Board approves Eddie Broadnax Jr.'s request to reside at 3070 West Point Road after review of past conviction

The Green Bay Offender Residency Board voted to allow Eddie Broadnax Jr. to live at 3070 West Point Road after reviewing his criminal history, treatment history and current living arrangements.

At the hearing, Broadnax said he had been on electronic monitoring in the past, had experienced housing instability after family deaths and had been off probation for "going on 3 years." When asked about the conviction, Broadnax said it was "second degree ... assault of a minor" and told the board the victim was 16 at the time; he said the conviction occurred more than 20 years ago. Captain Oberman of the Green Bay Police Department confirmed the appellant's account and said the timeline as given was "totally accurate."

Board members asked about sex-offender treatment and substance use. Broadnax said he completed some classes in custody (describing them as a "deniers group"), had an assessment but was not referred for further programming, and that his alcohol/drug treatment was completed more than a decade earlier. He said he currently drinks and has been off probation for several years.

Broadnax told the board he works at Old Chicago, where he started in late November, and that he plans to live with his girlfriend, Jody Hanson, if approved. Hanson spoke in support, stating she has known the appellant about 20 years, that she has housing available at 1477 Snowshoe Trail in Suamico and that the couple plans to move in on March 1.

A board member moved to approve the address-specific request; the motion was seconded and the board recorded "aye" votes and approved the relocation. The board reiterated its standard condition that any future relocation requires returning to the board for review.

No additional conditions, fines or referrals were announced during the meeting.
