Two Arrested for Setting School Fire
Trinty Lutheran Church Confirmation Class
On Thursday, May I, a seven month investigation into an Arson at Huntley High School came to a conclusion when Police Officers from Huntley, McHenry County Sheriffs Police, McHenry County States Attorney's Office and Algonquin Police Department arrested Keith Guminslci, age 22 of 433 S. Hubbard Rd., Algonquin and John P. Daley, age 25 of 1745 Kingston Cr., Carpentersville. Both defendants are charged with Criminal Damage to Government Supported Property (over $100,000.00), Arson, and Possession of an Incendiary Device. Guminski and Daley were also charged with two Auto Thefts that occurred during the spring of 1996 in Algonquin and un¬ incorporated McHenry County.
The fire at Huntley High School, 12015 Mill St., Huntley occurred on October 1,1996 when an incendiary device was thrown through a classroom window. The damage was contained to two
classrooms by the Huntley Fire Department, however damage was estimated at $150,000.00.
Huntley Police and Fire Departments have had an ongoing investigation underway since the occurrence. The major break in the case came earlier this week when a confidential source revealed information that tied Guminski to the Huntley fire and the two auto thefts.
Sealed Grand Jury Indictments were returned May 1, 1997 on Guminski and warrants were issued setting bond at $300,000.00. Officers from Algonquin Police Department took Guminski into custody Thursday evening, May 1, 1997. Subsequent to the arrest, information linking Daley to the crimes resulted in complaints and warrants being issued with bond set at $490,000.00 Initial court dates on both subjects have been set for May 8 al 9 am in McHenry County.
