Police 07

There were three offenders convicted of crimes against persons released on parole in Melrose Park during the first quarter, according to Illinois Department of Corrections data obtained by the West Cook News.

The data shows that three men were among the parolees. The median age of the parolees sentenced for crimes against persons was 28. The youngest parolee was a 23-year-old man sentenced in 2017, and the oldest was a 30-year-old man sentenced in 2014.

The offender who was incarcerated the longest was Christopher Rivera. He was convicted of a crime against a person in 2010 when he was 20 years old. He is now 29.

Under state law, paroled offenders are still in legal custody of the IDOC, meaning they can be taken back to a correctional center at any time if the state has probable cause or a warrant.
