Convicted sex offenders who get out of prison and then fail to tell the state where they're living are looking for trouble.

A Crandon man received a six-month jail term this week after being charged with failing to properly report his place of residence to the state's Sex Offender Registry.

Forty-nine-year-old Matthew VanZile pleaded no contest to a lesser charge of obstruction in Forest County Circuit Court.

The complaint said he sent in a letter saying he was living at a new address in Crandon, but sheriff's deputies determined he was living and working in Keshena.

He has a past conviction for first-degree sexual assault of a child.
