Sentenced to Two Years Probation and $1,000 Fine

A Cary man was sentenced to two years probation and fined $1,000 Thursday after pleading guilty to stealing thousands of dollars from a disabled woman with whom he was living.

Peter T. Jachim, 42, admitted guilt to financial exploitation of a disabled person and an unrelated felony theft charge as part of a plea deal struck with McHenry County prosecutors allowing him to avoid a possible prison sentence.

The plea agreement does include a 180-day sentence in the McHenry County jail, but he has served that time while awaiting trial.

Jachim initially was charged with financial exploitation of an elderly person and financial exploitation of a disabled person in May 2009 after, authorities said, a Cary police investigation revealed he stole about $5,000 from two mentally disabled women with whom he shared an apartment.
