Posted on May 13th, 2010 No Comments
A Champaign County Grand Jury indicted an Urbana couple today on felony charges of stealing from a local youth sports organization.
The husband was indicted on one count of unauthorized use of property, one count of receiving stolen property, and one count of greand theft. The wife was indicted on one charge of receiving stolen property.
The couple is accused of stealing funds from the Urbana Girls Fastpitch traveling softball program.
Once police were made aware of suspicious purchases on the program’s account, its financial records were subpoenaed. This revealed over $11,000 in purchases and transfers of money from the last two years, made by the husband, who was the executive director of the organization at the time.
It took officers around four months to determine what purchases where legitimate and which were not.

Urbana man sentenced to seven years for unsuccessful shoplifting

Posted on April 28th, 2010 No Comments

Champaign County Judge Tom Difanis sentenced an Urbana man to seven years in prison for attempting to shoplift from a Meijer store on 2401 N. Prospect Ave. December 17, 2009.

The prosecution alleged that the Urbana man was in the store for close to an hour before entering the woman’s bathroom with merchandise he had not paid for. When store security followed him and found the items on his person, they called the police.

The man has a prior record of convictions for burglary and possession of a stolen car.

The sentence imposed on this man is excessive, especially given that he shows no predilection towards violent crimes. If you need legal counsel or representation in a criminal defense case, contact theĀ Champaign criminal defense lawyers of Thomas A. Bruno and Associates at 217-328-6000 today.
