WHITTIER (KTLA) -- A registered sex offender has been arrested for violating parole, after he walked into a school in Whittier and offered to read to children.
John Davis, 56, was taken into custody Wednesday at his home after a 3 month investigation.
Last November, authorities say the former Army major, showed up at Los Altos Elementary School and volunteered to read to the school children at a "Heroes Day" event on Veteran's Day.
The school didn't know Davis was a convicted sex offender, and allowed him to read to students.
Deputies at the Norwalk Sheriff's Station discovered what had happened after running a routine sex offender check.
Davis was released on bail late Thursday.
He was convicted in San Diego County in 2000 of attempted lewd acts with a child under the age of 14.
Davis is a retired Army Major and former White House official during the Clinton administration.
Davis was not part of a background check because he was a volunteer for the school.
