HOFFMAN ESTATES — A 29-year-old man was sentenced Monday to two years in prison and four years of probation for shooting at several homes in Hoffman Estates in 1996.

Sarfaraz Khan, of the 4500 block of North Thornbark Drive in Hoffman Estates, was found guilty but mentally ill. He pleaded guilty to one count of unlawful use of a weapon and five counts of aggravated discharge of a firearm.

Khan was sentenced in the Rolling Meadows branch of the Cook County Circuit Court by Associate Judge John J. Scotillo, who ordered that probation be served consecutively to the prison term.

Khan has served 255 days in jail since he was charged with firing a .22-caliber rifle at several homes between April and September of 1996.

As part of his probation, Khan must receive counseling and be monitored to ensure he takes medication for a psychiatric problem, Scotillo said.
