The agreement did not affect the sentencing range Pease faces. He could be sentenced to probation or to between two and five years in prison.<\/p>\n
His attorney, Assistant Public Defender Jason Majer, said Pease will undergo an evaluation considering whether he would be a good candidate for intensive probation.<\/p>\n
Pease went into the Starbucks in downtown Crystal Lake about 7 a.m. Nov. 14 and intimidated an employee who gave him a cup of coffee, police said.<\/p>\n
He remained agitated and tossed the cup of coffee in the face of a second employee who approached him to try to calm him, police said. She suffered second-degree burns, according to court records.<\/p>\n
In the ruckus, Pease also damaged a plastic supply holder on the counter, according to court records.<\/p>\n
Two off-duty police officers, who were in the coffee shop by coincidence, subdued him and detained him until Crystal Lake police arrived.<\/p>\n
