Prosecutors Trying to Take Away Jailed Homeless Man’s 17-Year-Old Van

JOLIET, IL — A homeless man jailed on a heroin charge might now lose his van.

Prosecutors filed a case Wednesday to take the brown, 17-year-old Dodge van away from homeless man Timothy Keck.

Keck, 42, and his girlfriend, 33-year-old Tiffany Miller, were arrested early Friday morning after a Braidwood police officer reportedly pulled them over and found 30 bags either full or partially full of heroin inside the van.

Keck and Miller both remain in custody at the Will County jail. Their bonds were set at $30,000.

When they were arrested, Keck and Miller claimed to be homeless, police said. Keck reportedly has a last known address in Coal City.
