Description
In three separate informations filed in the circuit court of Montgomery County, defendant, Bruce Bourke, was charged with two counts of burglary (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1979, ch. 38, par. 19-1) and one count of deceptive practices (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1979, ch. 38, par. 17-1). The burglary counts involved two separate entries on different dates, and the deceptive-practices count involved the issuance of three worthless checks. He pleaded guilty to all three charges and was sentenced to one year probation. Defendant's probation was subsequently revoked, and he was sentenced to four years' imprisonment on each burglary conviction and two years' imprisonment on the deceptive-practices conviction, the sentences to be served concurrently. In a Rule 23 order (87 Ill.2d R. 23) the appellate court affirmed (105 Ill. App.3d 1211), and we allowed defendant's petition for leave to appeal (87 Ill.2d R. 315). The People filed a petition for revocation of probation alleging that defendant had violated the terms of his probation by committing two acts of deceptive practices. Approximately 60 days later the People filed a second petition for revocation, alleging that defendant had wilfully failed to make payments of court costs and fines in accordance with the provisions of the probation order. Shortly thereafter the People filed an additional petition for revocation alleging that defendant had violated the provisions of his bail bond posted in the pending deceptive-practices charges, and that he had failed to report to his probation officer for a period of five months.
