A Fox Lake man was sentenced Wednesday to three years in prison for stealing power tools from a garage in Spring Grove in May 2022.
Jeffrey Gniech, 50, of the 0-10 block of Rose Avenue, entered into a negotiated plea of guilty to theft of between $500 and $10,000, according to court records. More serious charges of burglary and residential burglary were dismissed.
Gniech, who also has a Johnsburg address listed as his residence in the McHenry County jail log, was ordered to pay $624 in fines and $625 in restitution.
He is required to serve 50% of his sentence in prison before he becomes eligible for parole.
