According to court records, former Oakland Fire Protection District Trustee Kyley Willison is set to appear in Coles County Circuit Court on June 24, 2024, at 2 p.m. for a status and plea hearing. This development follows his previous decision to waive the right to a jury trial, leading to the vacating of the trial setting.

Jerry Willison, also a former trustee of the Oakland Fire Protection District, has his next court appearance scheduled for July 11, 2024, at 2 p.m.

Coles County authorities have updated the court docket with details regarding charges against both Kiley and Jerry Willison. The two were arrested on March 17, 2023, after an investigation that highlighted potential misapplication of funds.
