STATEMENT
7/20/15

County Supervisor Dianne Jacob reacts to the news that sexually violent predator Gary
Gene Snavely has been removed from Jacumba Hot Springs for violating the terms of
his release. He is in Sheriffs Department custody and may be returned to a state
hospital.
This monster never belonged in the community in the first place. Word that he violated
the terms of his release comes as no surprise and is the latest proof that sexually
violent predators have no place in Jacumba Hot Springs or any other community. What
makes this even more outrageous is that its not the first time Snavely has broken the
rules of his placement. He needs to be locked up for good.
