The Kane County State’s Attorney’s Office and Illinois State Police announced that indictments by a Kane County Grand Jury were unsealed against former Campton Hills Police Chief Steven Millar, former Campton Hills Police Officers Scott Coryell and Daniel Hatt, and current Campton Hills Police Officer Douglas Kucik.
According to a release, Kane County State’s Attorney Jamie L. Mosser alleges that firearms were unlawfully sold that were in police department possession in the evidence room between 2018 and 2023. The release says reports were filed and, in some cases, amended to facilitate the sales and obstruct investigators.
On Thursday, Oct. 16, all four defendants surrendered themselves to the Kane County Sheriff’s Office and appeared in court.
The release says because none of the charges are detainable pretrial under Illinois law, the defendants were released under special conditions while their cases are pending.
Those conditions include a ban on possessing firearms, communicating with their co-defendants, or traveling out of state without the Court’s permission.
Their next court date is scheduled for Dec. 12, 2025.
