SALINE CO.— A Harrisburg convicted felon who has spent time in prison for theft appears to be headed in that direction once again, quite possibly due to a case of the munchies.
Court documents indicate that Daniel Michael Carroll, 56, of 812 West McHaney, Harrisburg, committed the offense of Retail Theft when, on November 12 at 5:16 p.m. when he walked into the local Walmart and walked out without bothering to pay for a $6.48 box of the ice cream treat, Nestle Drumsticks.
The hungry Mr. Carroll was also charged with Criminal Trespass to Retail Property because he had been served previously with a notice not to enter onto Walmart property.
Carroll’s criminal history includes a conviction for felony Theft July 26, 2002 and a sentence to the Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) for three and a half years. He was also ordered to pay $339.08 in fines and fees.
He was sent back to IDOC on another sentence of three years after he was convicted October 19, 2005 of Property Damage $300-$10,000.
That conviction cost Carroll another $1,188.27 in fines and fees.
Carroll spent 156 days in the county jail following a November 16, 2007 conviction for Retail Theft.
In addition to jail Carroll was sentenced to probation for 30 months and ordered to pay $1,249.76.
At the time of his arrest Carroll was out on bond in an unrelated June 9, 2016, felony case in which he is also charged with Theft.
Cash bond in the case was set at $500.
