Late Sunday afternoon, the Independent learned that former Illinois State Representative Sandra Pihos, a Republican from Glen Ellyn, had been arrested by the Lombard Police Department for alleged retail theft on Tuesday, Sept. 26. According to circuit court files, Pihos stands accused of stealing three items of women’s clothing valued at $571 from the Von Maur store located at Yorktown Center, a shopping mall in Lombard. Pihos was released after posting a $1,500 bond, according to court files. After serving in the General Assembly from 2003 to 2015, Pihos, 71, lost a bid for re-election in the Republican primary. After that, she ran for the Board of Trustees at College of DuPage (C.O.D.), but lost to Elmhurst resident Deanne Mazzochi as well as Frank Napolitano and Charles Bernstein, who had formed the “clean slate candidates,” running jointly for three seats. According to the Election Commission, Pihos lost by less than 1 percentage point — fewer than 2,000 votes. During her time in office, Pihos was appointed to serve on several committees, including the Consumer Protection Committee. Additionally, Pihos was named Illinois Legislator of the Year four times by the Western DuPage Special Recreation Association. Pihos is scheduled to appear at 9 a.m. Nov. 3 at the DuPage County Courthouse in Wheaton.
