SAN DIEGO - Two men classified as sexually violent predators have been conditionally released to separate San Diego County homes, sheriff's officials announced this week.Alvin Ray Quarles, 62, has been placed in Borrego Springs, while Merle Wade Wakefield, 67, has been placed in Campo.Both housing designations are temporary, as state hospital officials continue to grapple with finding fixed properties to house sexually violent predators for ongoing outpatient treatment.
Wakefield was released last fall to a home in Jacumba Hot Springs that was vacant because state hospital officials requested courts revoke the release of another SVP living at the home. However, a judge ruled against revoking that man's release and Wakefield was displaced from the Jacumba residence shortly after being housed there.
