The Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office is advising the public that Glendon Cokely, DOB 07/15/75, has registered as a Sexual Offender living in Sarasota County.

 

Cokely was convicted in 1998 in Sarasota County of Child Abuse: Engaging in Sexual Performance. He was sentenced to 12 months of Community Control followed by four years of probation. In 2001, Cokely was convicted of Violation of Probation and Possession of Cocaine and sentenced to 30 months in prison. Cokely was convicted again in 2007 of Possession of Rock Cocaine and sentenced to an additional nearly 20 months behind bars. In 2017, he was convicted of Sale of a Controlled Substance and served two more years in prison. Cokely was recently released and reports his address is 2570 22nd Street in Sarasota. He is not currently under the supervision of the Florida Department of Corrections, and because the offense occurred prior to 2004, residency restrictions do not apply.

 

This information is posted on the Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office website, agency Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts to publicly notify citizens of sexual offenders and predators who register a Sarasota County address for the first time, when moving into the county or following release from prison. Citizens should still sign up to receive notifications from FDLE of sex offenders and predator registrations.
