Police 06

There were five offenders released on parole during the third quarter that live in Shelby County, according to Illinois Department of Corrections data obtained by East Central Reporter.

The data shows that four men and one woman were released in Shelby County. Of the parolees, one is a veteran, and the median age is 41. The youngest parolee was a 30-year-old woman sentenced for a financial crime or fraud in 2017, and the oldest was a 58-year-old man sentenced for a crime involving drugs in 2011.

The offender who had been incarcerated the longest was Gary A. O'Bryant. He was convicted of a crime involving drugs in 2011 when he was 50 years old. He is now 58.

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.

The table below gives a breakdown of how many offenders were paroled in the third quarter in each Shelby County municipality.
