Police tell Mel Reynolds to relocate

CHICAGO, Feb. 5 (UPI) -- Chicago police want former congressman Mel Reynolds, a convicted sex offender, to move from his South Side home because he is living too close to a school.

Reynolds, a once well-connected Democratic leader whose sentence for tax evasion was commuted by President Clinton in 2001, was convicted in 1995 of sexual misconduct, child pornography and obstruction of justice, the Sun-Times said Saturday.

Police have told Reynolds, a registered sex offender who lives across the street from Salem Christian Academy, that he must find a place to live that is at least 500 feet from a school.
