Share

Just after midnight on Wednesday morning (3/4/2020) Monmouth Police and Warren County Deputies responded to a burglar alarm at the Farm King store north of Monmouth.  George C. Wallace, 23 of Monmouth, was arrested at the scene after a foot pursuit.  A Crime Scene investigator with the Illinois State Police also responded to the scene after the arrest. Wallace was alleged to have taken a vehicle in Monmouth, then broke into the store where firearms were taken after breaking a display case.

Wallace was taken to the Warren County Jail, charged with Burglary, Theft over $500, Possession of a Firearm with no FOID, Unlawful Use of Weapon by a Felon, and Burglary from a Vehicle.  An inventory determined the missing weapons were all recovered. Bond has not been set, pending a court appearance.
