DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert B. Berlin announced that bond has been set for two brothers accused of submitting false court-ordered documents to DuPage County officials.
Brett Cronan, 21, and Jack Cronan, 18, both of Addison, appeared in bond court last week where bond was set at $50,000 with 10% to apply for each.
It is alleged that on August 16, 2017, Brett Cronan appeared in court at which time he indicated that he had completed public service employment as ordered by the court regarding a guilty finding on a previous Manufacture/Delivery of Cannabis charge. Upon receipt of this information, officials with the Department of Probation attempted to verify the community service allegedly performed by Brett Cronan but could not do so.
It is further alleged that Brett Cronan did not complete the court-ordered public service employment and that he falsified a manager’s signature indicating that he had. On August 14, 2017, Jack Cronan presented alleged forged documents to the court as well attesting to public service employment he had allegedly performed.
Members of the public are reminded that this complaint contains only charges and is not proof of the defendants’ guilt. The defendants are presumed innocent and are entitled to a fair trial in which it is the government’s burden to prove their guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
