ANDRZEJ HRYNIEWICKI SENTENCED TO 16 YEARS IN THE DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS FOR POSSESSION WITH INTENT TO DELIVER OVER 300 POUNDS OF CANNABIS
Patrick D. Kenneally, McHenry County State’s Attorney, announces that Andrzej Hryniewicki, 51, of Sycamore, Illinois, was sentenced to 16 years in the Illinois Department of Corrections for the offense of Possession of Over 5,000 grams of Cannabis with Intent to Deliver, a Class X Felony, before the Honorable Robert Wilbrandt.
Hryniewicki had previously pled guilty to the Class X Felony and was scheduled for sentencing on May 10, 2019.
Hryniewicki failed to appear for sentencing, and a subsequent investigation revealed that the defendant had fled the country.
Hryniewicki was sentenced in his absence today to 16 years in the Illinois Department of Corrections.
On November 18, 2014, federal authorities became aware of a suspicious aircraft traveling in the direction of McHenry County.
Authorities maintained surveillance on the aircraft as it landed at Galt Airport in Wonder Lake, Illinois and pulled into a hanger.
Hryniewicki was observed fleeing from the hangar.
A search of the hanger yielded approximately 320 pounds of cannabis in the aircraft.
Hryniewicki was apprehended returning to the hanger, attempting to retrieve the cannabis.
This case was investigated by members of Homeland Security Investigations and the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office.
This case was prosecuted by Robert Ladd of the McHenry County State’s Attorney’s Office.

While Polish, he purchased a round trip ticket to China but did not make the return.

Anyone surprised?
A few months and it will be legal, that is if you are one of the friends of the program.
Illegal for him but medicinal for the legal purveyors…
Great job Patty boy
The judge is the one who continued his bond over the state’s objection. My question is why did they not yank his passport long before this. Should have been taken into custody upon conviction and only released on continued bond (if that’s what the judge wanted) after he surrendered his passport.
From the info in the paper, it’s not like he snuck over the border to Canada or Mexico. DHS knew exactly when he left and his destination. That doesn’t speak of any subterfuge.
Hryniewicki had possession of over 5,000 grams (320 lbs.) of cannabis that he intended to deliver, and flew into Galt Airport in Wonder Lake in a private aircraft.
It is obvious this clown is well organized and has deep pockets, which can make one wonder how deep is his pockets are to influence a judge to continued his bond over the state’s objection
Never mind this goof…
how about Byron Howard, sentenced today on the 2 year anniversary of being part of the home invasion robbery murder in McHenry…
2 years to the day he put a gun to the head of the wife of the man that was killed and today he was given 86 years, having to serve 85 percent of it.
He didnt get Life, but he’ll do Life.
Thank you McHenry County Prosecutors, Sherrifs Police, Judge Prather and the two guys that ratted him and partner Morris out. 2 years to this very day, May 24th.
Buh bye now Howard, MC Jail has been a cakewalk compared to where you’ll spend the rest of your days.
