There were two offenders convicted of sex crimes released on parole in Decatur during the first quarter, according to Illinois Department of Corrections data obtained by the Macon Reporter.

The data shows that both of the released offenders in Decatur were men. The younger parolee was a 32-year-old man sentenced in 2008. The other was a 41-year-old man sentenced in 2010.

The offender who was incarcerated the longest was Devron Tyus. He was convicted of a sex crime in 2008 when he was 21 years old. He is now 32.

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.
