Romeoville teen charged with intimidating witness

Bail of $100,000 has been set for a Romeoville teen charged with trying to intimidate another teen who linked him to a burglary, authorities say.

Marcus L. Hall, 17, of the 200 block of South Oak Creek Lane in the south suburb, has been charged with harassing a witness.

Hall confronted the teen on June 6 after learning she had implicated him while being interviewed by police about a residential burglary, according to Assistant Police Chief Steve Lucchesi. Hall hasn't been charged in connection with the burglary, according to Will County court records.

He is scheduled to appear at a July 9 preliminary hearing in Will County court on the charge, a Class 4 felony with a sentencing range of up to three years if convicted.

Hall remained in the Will County Adult Detention Facility in Joliet this morning.
