Sex offender found living in UI library
URBANA -- Authorities at the University of Illinois are trying to find out
how a convicted sex offender came to be living inside a campus library.
University of Illinois Police Lt. Roy Acree says 21-year-old Eric J.
Kaminski, who gave a Champaign address, was discovered early Thursday morning at the
Undergraduate Library in Urbana.
Library security believes Kaminski had been living in the library behind
movable bookshelves in the northeast corner of the building.
Acree says Kaminski had a folding knife with a 3-inch blade and a sex
offender registration form in his possession when he was found.
He says Kaminski was convicted of a sex crime in Michigan, and court records
show he was arrested by Champaign police and pleaded guilty in June to a
felony charge of failure to register as a sex offender.
Acree told the Champaign-Urbana News-Gazette that it is not uncommon for
homeless people to use campus buildings.
"When the weather starts getting colder, they will start looking for
shelter," Acree said. "It's a big campus with a lot of buildings with nooks and
crannies. Homeless people will sleep overnight."
