A Jacksonville man will spend the better part of the next decade in the Illinois Department of Corrections after he robbed a convenience store.
45-year-old Morris E. Chrisman was sentenced in Morgan County Court on Tuesday on charges of theft with a prior conviction.
Chrisman was arrested following an incident in February when he took an unknown amount of U.S. currency as well as a jar for collecting change from a Jacksonville Circle K convenience store.
Chrisman had a pending charge at the time for theft with a prior conviction in Morgan county from December of 2019 after he stole a cellular phone valued at over $500.00 from a Jacksonville resident.
