A former SIUC student accused of being a part of a three- to four-month forgery ring pleaded guilty and was sentenced to probation at his preliminary hearing Tuesday at the Jackson County Jail.

Vincent Anzelone, 25, of Lisle pleaded guilty to the manufacture of fraudulent driver’s license with the intent of deception, a class 4 felony, and theft over $10,000 but less than $100,000, a class 2 felony.

Anzelone was sentenced to 30 months probation for each charge to be served concurrently and 200 hours of community service. Anzelone also was ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $8,605.50, a $10,000 fine and cost and surcharges.
