Convicted La Salle Robber Adds Burglary To His Wrap Sheet

A man from La Salle already doing time in La Salle County has been also given prison time in Bureau County.

27 year old Chawn Vasquez has been sentenced to nine years in prison after pleading guilty earlier this month to two counts of burglary.  He will serve the sentence at the same time he serves time for La Salle County convictions of residential burglary and forgery.

Vasquez admitted to breaking into a La Salle man’s filing cabinet last May and stealing checks.  Just over a week later, he tried cashing stolen checks at businesses in both La Salle and Spring Valley.

He was released from prison before for robbery.
