Fifteen to twenty thugs storm family restaurant. Minus "Tommy Guns". This is almost laughable, or better yet, "damn right ridiculous"! These thugs, whom paralleled that of a dolt, showed what a group of undereducated, sub-cultural, inept, …   more ›

Target of Saturday's Attack Believed to be White Supremacists, Mayor Says

Tinley Park Mayor Ed Zabrocki said police are looking at an anti-racism group as the source of the attack.

Tinley Park Mayor Ed Zabrocki said police believe those involved in Saturday’s mob attack inside a local restaurant came from a group called Anti-Racist Action. Zabrocki told the Chicago Tribune the police are examining the possible connection with the group and that they also believe the target of the attack was a gathering of white supremacists. The Anti-Racist Action website posted a response Saturday to Patch’s coverage of the mob-style attack at Ashford House that officials say included 15 to 18 black-clad people that targeted a specific group. Eyewitnesses told Patch the attackers were armed with bats and hammers. The website's post credited the attack to a group of “anti-fascists” who directly targeted the gathering. Ashford House …

Court Watch: Judge Refuses to Put 'Gag Order' On Possible Murder Trial Witnesses

Evidence comes in against man accused of soliciting sex from children through the Internet. Trial was set for one of two men, the search for whom caused a lockdown of Frankfort-area schools and neighborhoods last year.

The Southland's major criminal and civil cases heard in Cook County and Will County courts this week. NEW LENOX — A judge on Thursday denied Rodney Julun’s request to put a “gag order” on two men who could be called to testify against him during trial. Julun is accused of murdering Dwight Jones of New Lenox Township with a lamp and then enlisting David Reed and John White to rob his home and property over the next several days. Evidently unaware that court hearings are open to the public, Julun said he does not believe he can get a fair trial because Reed and White have been leaking “their stories” to the media. The two men remain in jail, awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty to residential burglary, and have never spoken directly …

Street Sweeper Driver Accused of Running Red Light in Fatal Accident

The single charge against the driver of a street sweeper that a witness said caused a three-vehicle crash in Orland Park, killing a mother, father and daughter from Tinley Park, is the traffic citation. The crash is still being investigated.

A witness to a three-vehicle accident in Orland Park Sunday night that caused the death of three Tinley Park family members told police a street sweeper ran a red light at an intersection, which led to the crash. The man driving the street sweeper has been cited with disobeying a traffic control device for running the red light, Orland Park Police Commander John Keating said Thursday. “One witness saw the whole accident in its entirety and clearly stated the street sweeper disobeyed the red light, making no attempt to stop,” Keating said. “We won’t be getting into specifics of where that witness was until the accident reconstruction is complete.” Police have held off from releasing the street sweeper driver’s name pending the crash’s …

Bad intersection. My daughter was involved in a similar accident a few years ago. Luckily with minor injuries. Cars heading north are racing to beat the light. Something needs to be done to slow traffic down before the light or this will continue to occur.   more ›
