An Antioch man was accused of stealing a boat from a business and was arrested after trying to sell parts of it

The sheriff's office says an Antioch man was arrested for stealing a boat from a business near Antioch and then attempting to sell parts of the boat “well below” market value.

A man reported the theft of his 1995 Regal Valanti boat from a store in the 26900 block of West Grass Lake Road in unincorporated Antioch on Tuesday.

Lake County Sheriff's Office Chief Deputy Christopher Covelli said the boat, which was on a trailer, was parked in front of the store waiting to be winterized.

The deputy assigned to the case reviewed footage from nearby Flock Safety cameras and discovered the victim's trailer was being towed by a white GMC pickup truck. The truck's license plate was not visible.

A marina in the 25500 block of Route 173 in unincorporated Antioch reported a suspicious incident Friday.

Covelli said a man tried to sell them an outboard motor at a price well below its market value.

Marina surveillance footage was reviewed and the investigating deputy recognized the white GMC pickup from the boat theft.

Covelli said the man selling the engine was identified as Barry J. Hackleman, 54, of Antioch.

Later that evening, the officer spotted Hackleman's pickup truck driving near Route 173 and 3rd Avenue in unincorporated Antioch.

The deputy made a U-turn to initiate a traffic stop, but Hackleman pulled into a nearby business and parked.

Hackleman exited his vehicle as the deputy approached and walked toward the deputy. Covelli said.

Officers discovered the engine of the victim's stolen boat in the back of Hackleman's GMC.

Covelli said Hackleman refused to reveal the location of the victim's boat during questioning.

Sheriff's deputies checked multiple locations for the victim's boat but were unable to locate it.

The victim responded to the scene and recovered his boat's engine and other items stolen from the boat. Covelli said.

The Lake County State's Attorney's Office approved two counts of theft, a Class 3 felony, against Hackleman.

Hackleman was in custody on assault charges at the time of his arrest and prosecutors have filed a motion to revoke his release. He is scheduled to appear in court on Saturday morning.
