Florida Man Sentence to Five Years for Retail Theft in Yorkville

A Florida man has been sentenced to five years in the Illinois Department of Corrections for a retail theft after pleading guilty, according to Kendall County State’s Attorney Eric Weis.

Miguel A. Roldan, 50, of the 700 block of James Avenue, Leigh Acres, Florida, was apprehended by the Yorkville Police Department earlier in August of this year after stealing a “high dollar” item from the Yorkville Kohl’s Department Store.

Weis said that Roldan has an extensive criminal history, including multiple felony offenses, which warranted the five-year sentence.

“In many instances, individuals will take a high value item from our local merchants and then attempt to pawn it shortly thereafter for a quick dollar,” said Weis.  “Unfortunately, the cost for these crimes is ultimately passed along to the consumer.”

Roldan will be require to serve 1 year of mandatory supervised release after he serves his prison sentence.
