Joliet Man Stole '4 Kids Sake' Donation Box: Complaint

JOLIET, IL - Frank M. Klee, a convicted thief who was jailed last year for stealing from the Kohl's store on Route 59, now is wanted by the Joliet Police Department for a crime on New Year's Day. It is a revolting crime. The 49-year-old Joliet man is accused of walking into the Gulf Gas Station and having "knowingly obtained unauthorized control over ... a donation box containing cash on behalf of '4-Kids Sake,'" the criminal complaint filed Wednesday at the Will County Courthouse reads.

A warrant for Klee's arrest was issued this week by a Will County judge. The criminal complaint charges Klee with committing a felony theft, noting that Klee was convicted in 2014 in Will County of the crime of retail theft.

Also, last May, Joliet Police arrested Klee in connection with a retail theft inside the Kohl's department store on Route 59. In mid-July, Klee pleaded guilty to a felony theft charge, court records show. At sentencing, he was given credit for serving 59 days in jail and put on two years of probation.

Court records list Klee's address in Joliet as 416 Oneida Street, apartment 2.
