expansion is completed. He stated that Court Security is experiencing problems with

reported falling on the Courthouse steps on March 8, but she had no visible injuries and

March 7 and assisted with the preparation of the funeral ceremony for retired Sheriff’s
Office Commander Speenburgh.
Randall continued that the detectives were working on many cases and have charged
an Elburn man with one felony count of Deceptive Practice as a result of their
investigation into a report from the Kendall Hill Nursery that the man had purchased
over $2,000.00 worth of trees from the business with a bad check. They were also
investigating an Aggravated Battery that occurred in Boulder Hill where the victim was
attacked by multiple offenders who beat him with their hands, feet and a paving brick.
The investigators have identified the offenders, although the victim has stopped
cooperating in the investigation. The investigators feel that this is gang related and it
may not be possible to charge the offenders without the victim’s cooperation.
