In Kane County, Illinois, a former police chief from a Chicago suburb, alongside two ex-officers and a current officer, stand accused of orchestrating a scheme to sell firearms taken from the evidence room.

The group, which includes ex-Campton Hills Police Chief Steven Millar, has been indicted by a grand jury on multiple charges.

Millar faces a slew of charges: five counts for delivering a firearm before the mandatory 72-hour waiting period had elapsed, two counts of theft, 22 counts of official misconduct, wire fraud, nine counts of forgery, and money laundering.

Allegations against Millar claim that between January 2018 and February 2023, he pilfered a handgun, a revolver, two rifles, and a shotgun from the police department’s evidence locker.

Further accusations suggest Millar sold these stolen firearms and falsified police documentation to cover up the activities.

Douglas Kuick, a current Campton Hills officer, is facing charges of theft, two counts of delivery of firearm before 72-hour waiting period expired, two counts of official misconduct, money laundering and wire fraud.

He allegedly stole a handgun and revolver and sold them.

Former Campton Hills officer Steve Coryell, 57, is facing two counts of theft, four counts of official misconduct, two counts of forgery, wire fraud and obstructing justice by destroying evidence.

Coryell allegedly stole firearms from the evidence locker but the charging document did not state how many.

Former Campton Hills officer Daniel Hatt, 65, is facing two counts of official misconduct, money laundering, forgery, obstructing justice by destroying evidence and wire fraud.

The investigation was conducted by Illinois State Police.

All four surrendered themselves to the Kane County Sheriff’s Office on Thursday morning. All of them were released under special conditions.

Their next court date is scheduled for Dec. 12.
