Former Ogle County Sheriff Michael Harn faces two felony theft charges from his time in office.
Court documents filed Wednesday allege he used Ogle County funds to purchase a variety of items for himself between June 2011 and December 2014. The items range from boat equipment and party tents to personal auto maintenance and radio advertising. The complaint also says Harn made the purchases under false pretenses by claiming they would be used by the Sheriff's Office.
Each felony charge carries a sentence of 3 to 7 years in prison, and Saukvalley.com reportsHarn is set to appear in Ogle County Court Nov. 10.
