Man who failed to register as a sex offender arrested

A convicted sex offender who eluded law enforcement for two years was arrested Saturday at his aunt’s home in Glendale for failing to follow conditions of his parole, police said.

Juan Reyes, 27, had allegedly failed to register as a sex offender since Sept. 19, 2010, according to a U.S. Department of Justice database.

The U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force found Reyes, who is homeless, about 10:14 p.m. at his aunt’s home on the 1200 block of East California Avenue and immediately took him into custody, according to Glendale Police Department reports.
