Former McHenry cop admits stealing from evidence
WOODSTOCK – A former McHenry police officer pleaded guilty Tuesday to theft and official misconduct, admitting that he took seized drug money.
Dale A. Hojnacki, 36, was charged in April after a routine department audit discovered the money was missing.
Hojnacki initially was charged with two counts of theft under $10,000 and later indicted on an additional five counts of official misconduct. He pleaded guilty to one count of each charge, both Class 3 felonies, with the remaining counts dismissed.
