Christopher Abell, Saline County mug from his arrest there a couple of years back
HAMILTON CO., Ill.---A crossover crim from Saline County has been sentenced for his badness in Hamilton, a week after Saline reinstated his charges and sentenced him on those.
Christopher Abell, 23, of Eldorado, plead to Criminal Damage to Property, Class 4 felony, receiving 2 years in D.O.C. with 1 year mandatory supervised release (parole) today (Thursday, April 2) in Hamilton County circuit court.
He took a New Holland tractor with out the owner's permission on July 17, 2011 and crashed it into a muddy ditch and did over $2,000 in damage to the tractor.
The case was investigated by the Hamilton County Sheriff's Department. Hamilton County State's Attorney Justin Hood advised that Abell is currently located in Saline County Detention Center, due in large part to the fact that Abell's sentence is concurrent with a 2010 Class 2 Burglary out of Saline where he received a 6-year sentence last week.
