SYCAMORE – The Sycamore man involved in the fatal crash of an 11-year-old Sycamore boy in February is being held in jail after being charged with unrelated felony theft charges Wednesday.

Benjamin Black, 28, of the 1500 block of Sparkhayes Drive in Sycamore, is being held on $100,000 bond for allegedly stealing more than $4,000 of coiled copper and brass from American Cold-Headed Products in Cortland.

Black was ticketed in a Feb. 27 crash where he rear-ended a 1999 Cavalier and injured 18-year-old Teale Noble, 21-year-old Nicholas Weber and his younger brother Matthew Ranken, who later died at Kishwaukee Community Hospital from the injuries. Black was cited for failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident and operating an uninsured motor vehicle.
