January 11, 2019 – Kankakee, IL – Pembroke Township
resident, Dennis Hogan (32 years of age) was sentenced to 71 months in federal
prison earlier today by the Honorable Judge Shadid.  Hogan pled guilty on
August 30th in a 2017 case where he fired a semi-automatic rifle in the
direction of another person at the Pembroke Citgo station.  Hogan received
sentencing enhancements for firing the weapon in public and for reckless
endangerment when he fled from law enforcement upon his apprehension. 

“I applaud the efforts of our deputies and investigators, who worked with Project Safe Neighborhoods, the Kankakee County State’s Attorney’s Office and the US Attorney’s Office (Asst. US Attorney Brian Freres) on the case,” said Sheriff Mike Downey.  “Having someone like Hogan, who has demonstrated his willingness to create violence, incarcerated for such a long period of time is an obvious advantage to the community at large.”
