One of four Chicago men convicted for burglarizing several businesses and stealing ATMs in Huntley has been sentenced to six years in prison.
Kenneth S. Maxey, now 31, of the 4200 block of South Washtenaw Avenue in Chicago, was sentenced in court to prison on Wednesday after pleading guilty to one Class 2 felony count of burglary following a negotiated plea deal, records show.
Additional felony charges of burglary, theft, retail theft, and criminal damage to property were dropped in exchange for the plea agreement, records show.
Maxey was charged along with three other Chicago men for a crime spree among Huntley businesses in October of 2021, court records show.
Criminal complaints filed in McHenry County Circuit Court allege the four suspects burglarized the Mobil gas station, 11200 South Route 47 in Huntley, on October 4, 2022.
At least $300 in cash was stolen from two cash register drawers at the gas station.
