PRINceton - A DePue man charged with misdemeanor theft in Bureau County was released on bond and arrested the same day on felony cocaine charges stemming from 2004 in Kane County.

Francisco Burciaga of 226 Newell St. was charged with theft under $300 Thursday for allegedly stealing a chair from a trailer parked in front of a DePue residence, police said.

He was released on bond but was arrested later Thursday by DePue police after the FBI said he was wanted in Kane County.

Police said Burciaga had been arrested in Kane County for felony possession of cocaine. He was wanted there on a 2004 warrant under the name Pedro Astorga.

Police said the FBI matched Burciaga's fingerprints to Astorga's.

Police said Burciaga is an illegal immigrant from Mexico who has been in the United States for 10 years.

He has been returned to Kane County.
