Kendall County Sheriff’s deputies have concluded their investigation into a retail theft that took place July 27 at a business located in the 0-100 block of Light Road.

Kendall J. Collier, 19, was charged with retail theft, a class A misdemeanor, for the theft of a $16.49 bottle of Bacardi Rum, said the Kendall County Sheriff's office. 

Collier is currently being held at the Kane County Sheriff’s Jail for the previous charge of aggravated driving under the influence of alcohol in which on Sept. 29 he allegedly struck a Montgomery police officer, Sgt. Adam Kuncl.
