When you are arrested in Chicago or the suburbs and face burglary charges under 720 ILCS 5/19-1 [1110000] [1115000] [12348], you are facing a felony-level offense and run the risk of a prison sentence upon conviction. Illinois law states that burglary under 720 ILCS 5/19-1 is normally categorized as a Class 2 Felony, which if convicted, can land someone in prison for up to 7 years. The suspect can also be tagged with a fine not to exceed $25,000.

 

Not all burglary cases are created equal. Burglary of a church, school, or other protected building could enhance the penalty and risk of prison time.  Residential burglary is even more serious in that a person charged with burglary to another person’s home can spend up to 15 years in prison.
