ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- Annapolis police arrested a registered child sex offender Tuesday night after he allegedly attempted to pick up a student at Annapolis High School earlier in the day, authorities said.

According to the school, a man entered the school's main office at about 2 p.m. to pick up a student. School officials entered the man's identification into the school's Raptor/Vsoft computer and learned the man was a possible registered sex offender.

School officials said the man appeared to be nervous as they asked him for more information. He told them he was the student's relative but left the school without the student. The school resource officer was notified and began investigating.

The man was identified as 22-year-old Torrence Ramone Davis. Police said he is registered as a child sex offender and is banned from public school properties.

The school resource officer said he contacted the student's mother and learned that Davis is a family friend who had been asked to pick up the student.

Davis was arrested at his Annapolis home at about 11:30 p.m. Tuesday and charged with trespassing on school property, police said.
