"We have some criminals, we have some alcoholics, we have drug addicts, we have mentally ill, there are some sex offenders, yes," DeVaul told KSBY-TV.
DeVaul stated some of the residents of Sunny Acres could be put at risk of violating parole conditions if children attempt to visit the property due to the "Pokestop."
"Pokemon Go" allows players to user their smartphone to chase down fictional characters and "catch" them in the real world.
