A Crystal Lake man was sentenced Thursday to probation in connection with a 22-year-old Elgin woman s fatal overdose.
McHenry County Judge Robert Wilbrandt sentenced 24-year-old Sabastian L. Zarbock to 180 days in jail and two years of probation. Since Zarbock has been in custody since June 6, 2020, his jail sentence is considered served.
Zarbock and another man, 29-year-old Rufus McGee, were arrested after the May 28, 2019, death of Shannon Finn. McGee pleaded not guilty to three counts of drug-induced homicide stemming from Finn s heroin overdose death.

A Carpentersville man, who authorities said has ties to a Mexican drug cartel, was sentenced to 18 years in prison Wednesday for his connection to 16,000 grams of cocaine with a street value of $1.6 million allegedly stored in a warehouse in Lake in the Hills.
In October, Juan F. Sanchez-Cacho, 44, (who also goes by the name Francisco Sanchez-Cacho), was found guilty of possession with intent to deliver cocaine and possession of a controlled substance after a bench trial in front of Judge Michael Coppedge.
Before the sentencing hearing his defense attorney, Special Public Defender Thomas Carroll, argued a post-conviction motion. He said there was reasonable doubt and asked for a new trial.
