There were two offenders convicted of crimes against persons released on parole in Ottawa during the first half of 2018, according to Illinois Department of Corrections data obtained by the Illinois Valley Times.

The data shows that a man and woman were released in Ottawa. The younger parolee was a 23-year-old man sentenced in 2015. The other was a 36-year-old woman sentenced in 2013.

The offender who was incarcerated the longest was Shelly L. Lutomski. She was convicted of a crime against a person in 2013 when she was 30 years old. She is now 36.

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.
