Tattooed Parolee Wanted For Stealing Four Old Tires: COPS

ALSIP, IL -- An arrest warrant was issued for a Blue Island parolee who is accused of stealing four old tires from a truck lot in Alsip. Cook County Judge Peter Felice set a bond of $30,000 for the arrest of 37-year-old William Oiler. Oiler was released on parole in January from the Illinois Department of Corrections, where he had been serving three-year concurrent sentences for removal of a theft control device. Oiler also has two other felony convictions, according to prison records.

Police said Oiler drove a truck through the open gates of the Alsip Truck Center at 128th Street and Pulaski Road on Oct, 5. He was captured on video allegedly loading four semi-trailer tires into his vehicle.

“I think he sells the tires,” the detective said.

The Alsip detective told the judge that Oiler was recognized in the video by his tattoos. Police have been to the motel where Oiler was said to be staying, but he wasn’t there. A parole violation may be pending.
