From the State’s Attorney:
GEORGE KMAN III SENTENCED TO THREE YEARS IN THE ILLINOIS DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS FOR DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE
The McHenry County State’s Attorney’s Office announces that George Kman III, 71, of Crossville, Tennessee, was sentenced to three years in the Illinois Department of Corrections.
The sentence was handed down on March 28, 2025, by the Honorable Mark R. Gerhardt after Kman entered a negotiated resentence for the offense of Driving Under the Influence, a Class 2 Felony based on a new allegation of Kman committing the offense of Driving Under the Influence in Tennessee.
On December 18, 2021, the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle.
Upon making contact with the driver of that vehicle, who was identified as the Kman, the deputy observed Kman to be under the influence of alcohol.
Kman was charged with the class 2 felony offense of Driving Under the Influence and pleaded guilty to that offense on April 20, 2023.
Kman was sentenced to a term of two years of probation and twenty days in the McHenry County Jail.
On July 31, 2024, while on probation, Kman committed the offense of Driving Under the Influence in Cumberland County, Tennessee.
The McHenry County State’s Attorney’s Office filed a petition to revoke Kman’s probation and a warrant was issued for his arrest.
Thanks to the coordination between the McHenry County State’s Attorney’s Office, McHenry County Probation and Court Services, and local Tennessee law enforcement, Kman was arrested on the warrant and brought before the court in McHenry County.
On March 28, 2025, Kman admitted to committing the new offense of Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol and was resentenced to three years in the Illinois Department of Corrections.
McHenry County State’s Attorney Randi Freese commends the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office on their work in preventing and combating driving under the influence in our county and commends the McHenry County Probation and Court Services department on their diligent work in ensuring that individuals are held accountable to the terms of their probation.
This case was successfully prosecuted by Shelby Page.
