SOLANO COUNTY (CBS13) - A sexually violent predator looking to move to Marysville will have to stay in Solano County.

Today in court, Fraisure Smith was ordered to continue his search for suitable housing in the area.

Smith was released from a state hospital and has been moving from motel to motel, looking for a permanent residence, which was ordered by a judge. Smith is to temporarily stay at hotels and motels around Solano County.

Dixon Mayor Jack Batchelor, who spent 25 years with the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, calls the decision to release Smith as a transient abhorrent. It means the sexual predator goes from place to place with little or no advance notice.

The move was blocked after Yuba County protested his request to move.
