Another Parole Success Story
Illinois really needs a "truth in sentencing" law or something like the feds have where you do 85% of your time before parole is even considered:
A 16-time convicted burglar is back in jail this morning, accused of burglarizing two more businesses less than 48 hours after getting out of prison. In addition to his 16 burglary convictions, 58-year-old Vance Patton has been sent to prison for four other felonies, too.
Patton was released from the Graham Correctional Center in Hillsboro last Thursday, March 20, according to state records. By sunrise on Saturday, he had made the 227-mile trip to Chicago, secured gloves and a face covering, and committed two more break-ins in the Beverly neighborhood, according to prosecutors.
Police said video showed Patton throwing a brick through a storage facility window in the 1900 block of West 95th Street and taking $1 from the cash register. He then walked across the street and threw a brick through the front window of Flippin Flavors, 1848 West 95th Street, and stole five sodas from the cooler, according to his arrest report. Officers searched the area and found Patton after a nearby resident called 911 to report a suspicious man in their backyard. According to CPD, he had five cans of cold soda in his backpack: two ginger ales, one Pepsi, and an orange Crush. The cops also recovered a black face covering and gloves.
Prosecutors asked Judge Susana Ortiz to detain Patton, but she declined their petition.
The judge said he could be out on an ankle monitor.
He just got out two days prior, traveled two-hundred-twenty-seven miles, and already has two additional burglaries to his name....and the judge thinks he should stay free on no bail with a monitor he can just cut off to go burgle more businesses.
With sixteen separate convictions for burglary, he should have been serving between sixty-four and two-hundred-forty years. Concurrent sentencing probably cut that down, but why are Illinois taxpayers constantly putting up with (and paying for) this bullshit?
IDOC is "considering" revoking his parole, but seeing as how they let him out in the first place and parole revocation is an almost miraculous happening, we're not going to hold our breath on that one.

He must have only taken advantage of the punitive aspects of prison. Clearly he missed the rehabilitation feature.
Must have watched Ernest T Bass as a kid during the Andy Griffith era it’s me it’s me it’s Ernest T
The real criminals are running the department. I lost all respect for Snelling making that woman the 1st Deputy Superintendent.
Judge Ortiz is a great example of compassion. Another great example would be Judge Ortiz inviting the burglar to reside at her residence and cook the burglar home cooked meals and tuck the burglar into bed at night after a long day of burglarizing.
This guy must be working as a small business liason for the governor!
Had guys like that when I was a guard. Committing a burglary for a measly dollar sounds like a guy who *wants* to be in prison. It's what he knows & likes. Give him his wish and keep him there.
His reign of intrusion will end when he meets an armed homeowner.
that must be what the democRATS mean by "safe" with the "safe-t act" they passed,,,, right
Hopefully Vance Patton runs into a homeowner who’s not afraid to use a firearm to protect himself and his family.
Dupage, McHenry, Lake etc would have never let him out. This only happens in this toilet bowl.
Write that judges name down. She’s done this before and even though it makes no difference, vote NO when u can
When Cook County has had enough, this stuff will end. I say this because the super vast majority of the rest of the state isn't voting for it.
Don't forget, Rep. Ammons has submitted legislation (a scheme) to "pro-rate" most felons' sentenced to anything above and beyond 20 years, regardless of crime committed.
Did they give him back his mask and gloves?
Alfred E. Newman says....
What me worry.
Liberal activist judges...nuff said.
😂🤣
I pitty the fool. -- Mr. T
Detective Marco Torres got electronic monitoring only to go and threaten another Officer and be charged again. Way to go!
You might want to rethink Dupage County as some kind of tough county! NOTHING but shit!!! Left- far left shit hispanic socialist shit, progressive white trash shit etc etc etc
Not your father’s CK.
$10,000 in damage for $9 in pop and $1 cash. Wtf.
Or when he burglarizes a judge's house.
Released from prison for robbery. Must have gotten the shakes to steal again.
Dupage is just as liberal as cook. The county board is all blue and the Karen’s of downers grove and Naperville have flipped the Republican seats
Lake County state attorney “chuckle” Eric Reinhardt is their version of Foxx
Don't say Karen's
