An embattled former city councilman in Rhode Island who was arrested earlier this month after an officer found him asleep in his car with a crack pipe and a lighter in his hand is behind bars again, this time for allegedly sexually assaulting and molesting a child. Former Cranston City Councilman Matthew R. Reilly, a Republican, was taken into custody without incident on Thursday and charged with one count each of first-degree child molestation, second-degree child molestation, and enticement of a person under the age of 16, court records reviewed by Law&Crime show.

According to a press release from the Cranston Police Department, officers with CPD and the North Kingstown Police Department on June 8 responded to Reilly’s home in the 20 block of Delwood Street where they executed an arrest warrant on the onetime local politician.
