Ryan L. Bradis, a neighborhood menace responsible for untold numbers of bike thefts and laundry room break-ins, is in state prison this morning.
CWB profiled Brandis’ extensive criminal career in early November.
According to Illinois Department of Corrections records, Brandis has been sentenced to 3 years behind bars for burglary in connection with a November 10 burglary. Brandis began serving his sentence in Stateville Correctional Center on Tuesday.
Brandis was arrested a couple of days after the November 10 break-in while bicycling along Halsted Street in Boystown.
A recent CWB review of Cook County Criminal Court records found that Brandis had at least 37 court cases in the county since April 2011.
Before his current prison sentence, the only record we could find of Brandis serving time for this laundry list of was a 100-day sentence that he received for the June 25, 2013, battery charge.
