WILLIAMSON COUNTY — A West Frankfort man recently pled guilty theft, a Class 3 felony, and was sentenced to three years in the Illinois Department of Corrections.

Williamson County State’s Attorney Brandon Zanotti says in August 2017, 29-year-old Larry D. Duncan was hired in Marion for landscaping work and was told he could use the owner’s flatbed trailer to assist him. Duncan did not finish the work and stole the trailer, which was never recovered.

Duncan was on mandatory supervised release at the time of the offense from a burglary conviction in Franklin County. He will be on mandatory supervised release for one year following his release from this sentence. A restitution hearing for the trailer is set for Aug. 22.
