““Entrapment. A person is not guilty of an offense if his conduct is incited or induced by a public officer or employee, or agent of either, for the purpose of obtaining evidence for the prosecution of such person. However, this Section is inapplicable if a public officer or employee, or agent of either, merely affords to such person the opportunity or facility for committing an offense in furtherance of a criminal purpose which such person has originated.” Ill. Rev. Stat. 1987, ch. 38, par. 7—12.”

Fisher (1979), 74 Ill. App. 3d 330, 333-34 , 392 N.E.2d 975, 978 .)”
