ST. CHARLES – An Elgin man who lost control of his vehicle last year and hit 12 headstones in the city-owned West Batavia Cemetery will serve 250 hours of community service and pay $1,700 in fines.

Kane County Judge Katherine Moran on Thursday imposed the sentence on Kevin Malone, who was 26 at the time of the crash May 21, 2011. He was charged with improper lane use, failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident, operating an uninsured vehicle, driving without a valid license and reckless driving.

Moran admonished Malone for driving without insurance at the time of the crash. She ordered him to return to the court every three months to prove he has car insurance.
