An Illinois resident has been sentenced to 12 years in prison after a jury found him guilty of residential burglary and other charges tied to a major theft from a home in McHenry County.<\/p>\n

The case centered on the March 2023 break-in at a residence in unincorporated Marengo, reports<\/a> Lake McHenry Scanner.<\/p>\n

Sean A. Fitzpatrick, 50, of Poplar Grove stood trial on counts that included theft over $100,000 and possession of a stolen firearm.<\/p>\n

His co-defendant, Scott T. Henrie, 37, of Janesville, Wisconsin, pleaded guilty to residential burglary and received a four-year term through a negotiated deal.<\/p>\n

Stolen items included a Ford F-250 pickup with snowplow, a Lexus sedan, a John Deere Gator, a trailer, jewelry, cash, appliances and a Rock River Arms rifle along with a Cook County sheriff\u2019s deputy badge.<\/p>\n

The total value of the property taken ranged from $100,000 to $500,000 according to court records.<\/p>\n

Investigators with the McHenry County Sheriff\u2019s Office recovered much of the loot after tracing it to one of the suspects\u2019 homes.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors described how the pair used the stolen truck and trailer to haul away goods over two days.<\/p>\n

McHenry County State\u2019s Attorney Randi Freese highlighted the sheriff\u2019s office efforts that led to the recovery of victims\u2019 belongings and the successful prosecution.<\/p>\n

The sentencing came after delays following the July 2025 conviction.<\/p>\n
