Columbus, Ohio (PRWEB) July 31, 2013 -- This story was originally reported on 07/29/2013 on the Gloucester Times website. The arrest record of Sebastian C. Moody-Dabney can be found on the Androscoggin County Sheriff's Website here, booking number 13ASO-2571-JA. This Site makes no warranties or representations in connection therewith.
According to the Gloucester Times article, a Maine man wanted on charges of allegedly hindering a murder prosecution in that state was found working at a carnival sponsored by the Beverly Education Foundation. The carnival was being held outside Beverly High School. Sebastian C. Moody-Dabney, 22, and described in court documents as homeless, was working on the Beverly site last Thursday. He was employed by the Wilmington amusement company; which had been hired to run the fund-raising carnival. Beverly police Sgt. David Richardson said Moody-Dabney was identified through a routine background check performed on all carnival workers passing through the city; something the city has been doing for a number of years.
The Gloucester Times further reports that according to the The Lewiston Sun Journal, Moody-Dabney is one of several men charged in connection with the slaying in April of a man named Romeo Parent, 20, in Lewiston. Moody-Dabney allegedly made misleading statements in the Parent case, while another man has been charged with causing Parent’s death.
The article also stated that Larry Cushing, who runs the family-owned amusement company, said the company did a criminal background check on Moody-Dabney when he was hired in April, before police had issued a warrant for him. “There’s no way we knew this was coming,” Cushing said. “If you do a background check and something happens in the interim, you have no control over that.”
James Boeddeker, President of Selection.com, a leading provider of criminal background checks and pre-employment drug screenings stated, "In this instance, the company did everything right. A routine background check at the beginning of employment would not have shown the record. What’s important is to remember to follow-up with routine background checks throughout employment. The company may have found the record eventually if they were to run yearly background checks. Luckily the city’s background check served that purpose and caught the alleged criminal sooner."
