On April 1, 2019, the U.S. Department of Justice announced the indictment of John Schultz in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division (ILCD Federal District) on charges related to a violent crime.
The indictment, which was unsealed on the same day, alleged that John Schultz, a resident of Illinois, committed a series of violent acts, including assault and attempted murder, against multiple victims.
According to the indictment, Schultz, who was 35 years old at the time, had been involved in a long-standing feud with his victims. The alleged crimes were reported to have taken place in 2018, with the victims suffering severe injuries, including gunshot wounds and broken bones.
Prosecutors claimed that Schultz had used a firearm to commit the crimes, and if convicted, he faced a minimum sentence of 10 years in prison on the firearm charge alone.
Following a lengthy investigation by the FBI and local law enforcement, Schultz was taken into custody and charged with multiple counts of violent crime, including assault with a deadly weapon and attempted murder.
At a hearing on April 10, 2019, Schultz’s bail was set at $2 million, and he was ordered to appear for a preliminary hearing on May 1, 2019. While records indicate that Schultz was found guilty, the exact date of his conviction has not been publicly disclosed. However, it is reported that Schultz was indeed convicted and sentenced to 20 years in prison for his role in the violent crime.
