It seems that one of the Aurora, Illinois alderman has a problem with stealing stuff. She doesn’t do it very competently either.
Last month Lynne Johnson was charged with retail theft (shoplifting) but the charge was upgraded yesterday to burglary, which is a class 2 felony.
The Aurora alderman has a history of shoplifting. Ms. Johnson pleaded guilty in 2013 to a charge of retail theft. She was charged with another retail theft in 2003. Then she pleaded guilty to violation of a local ordinance and was sentenced to court supervision. She was also charged with retail theft in 2010 for stealing a bit over $200 in stuff from Target.
If she is found guilty of a felony she is ineligible to serve as alderman and her seat would be declared vacant.
Perhaps the next thief the locals elect will be a more highly skilled thief than the current occupant of the office.
