Man Caught Repeatedly Pumping Gas, Not Paying

COMMENT ON THIS STORY

BARTLETT, Ill. (STNG) - A man has been charged with repeatedly stealing gas from a Jewel Express in northwest suburban Bartlett.

Police responded on four separate occasions to the Jewel Express at 125 E. Stearns Rd. between Aug. 23 and Nov. 6 for reports of a person who pumped gas and left without paying, according to a release from Bartlett police.

On Nov. 11, police caught Dennis Farina Jr., 43, of 214 Kazwell St. in Willow Springs, and charged him with four counts of theft of motor fuel, the release said.

Farina allegedly stole over $190 in gas, the release said.

Farina was released from custody and is scheduled to appear in DuPage County Court.
