Christopher M. Sullivan, 44, of the 1300 block of Hinckley Street, Montgomery, on Wednesday, May 4, 2016, agreed to a sentence of 19 years in the Illinois Department of Corrections in exchange for a guilty plea to three counts of burglary, each a Class 2 felony. Circuit Judge James C. Hallock accepted the plea.

Kane County prosecutors presented evidence that:

• At about 8:30 p.m. Jan. 25, 2016, Sullivan smashed the front window of a restaurant in the 3700 block of East Main Street, St. Charles, and stole the cash register drawer. The total loss to the business was estimated at about $1,100.
• At about 10 p.m. Feb. 13, 2016, Sullivan smashed through the glass front door of a restaurant in the 800 block of South River Street, Aurora. He took the cash register drawer, liquor and two televisions, a total loss to the business estimated at about $1,100.
• At about 4 a.m. Feb. 18, 2016, Sullivan smashed through a front glass window of a business in the 600 block of Montgomery Road, Montgomery. He stole the cash drawer from a lottery machine and several lottery scratch tickets. The total value of the damaged and stolen property was estimated at more than $1,500.

Sullivan admitted to the police that he had committed the burglaries.

Sullivan is subject to extended term sentencing because of his criminal history. He was on parole at the time and has multiple prior convictions for a variety of offenses.

According to Illinois law, Sullivan is eligible for day for day sentencing. He was given credit for 97 days served in the Kane County jail.

The case was prosecuted by Kane County Assistant State’s Attorney Scott Schwertley.
