MORRISON – The former manager of the Shell Express Lane on U.S. Route 30 will be sentenced Nov. 17 for stealing more than $8,000 from the business.
James C. Hollowell, 50, of Rock Falls, pleaded guilty Wednesday to misdemeanor theft. In exchange for his plea, prosecutors dropped a felony theft charge.
Johnson Oil, which owns the gas station, conducted an audit in September and found that about $8,300 was taken from the station’s general account between August and September, police have said.
Hollowell worked for the company for 20 years, the last 15 at the gas station.
