KANKAKEE COUNTY — Three men were arrested in connection with a brazen home invasion in broad daylight Monday in Kankakee, according to the Kankakee County Sheriff's Office. Police said Tuesday they were called at around noon to a home on North Pearl Street in rural Kankakee. The homeowner told police a man posing as an Uber Eats delivery driver came to the front door. As the homeowner was speaking with him, two other men forced their way inside, the sheriff's office said. They restrained the homeowner with zip ties then ransacked the home, stealing electronics, cash, and multiple firearms including handguns and rifles before fleeing the scene. After an investigation, sheriff's police arrested three suspects linked to the home invasion. Arrested were Marcus A. Phelan, 41, of Kankakee, James E. Schoeberl II, 38, of St. Anne, and Ryan A. McManimen, 29, of Bourbonnais. All three were charged with home invasion. Phelan, who was armed at the time of his arrest, was taken into custody on an outstanding warrant out of Morgan County, Illinois. Sheriff's deputies recovered multiple stolen items during the arrests. "I want to commend our investigators for their outstanding work in quickly identifying and apprehending these individuals," Sheriff Mike Downey said. "The ability to recover stolen property—including dangerous firearms—and bring these suspects into custody so swiftly is a testament to their dedication." Downey also thanked the Kankakee police and fire departments, the Kankakee County Emergency Response Team, and the Kankakee County State's Attorney's Office for their help. All three men remain in custody at the Jerome Combs Detention Center, awaiting a detention hearing before a Kankakee County judge, the sheriff's office said. Additional charges might be forthcoming, Downey said.
