Former detective charged with official misconduct, other offenses

On September 16, 2023, McHenry County Sheriff’s Office administration was notified of an off-duty incident involving former Detective Christopher Marvel. After learning about the incident Marvel was immediately placed on administrative leave. Marvel is no longer employed by the Sheriff’s Office.

Per department policy, the Sheriff’s Office opened an internal investigation in accordance with the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office General Orders. On December 21, 2023, prior to the completion of the internal investigation, Marvel resigned. The Illinois Training and Standards Board was notified by the Sheriff’s Office of his resignation while under internal investigation, in accordance with the SAFE-T Act.

On Friday, February 16, 2024, the Illinois State Police and the McHenry County State’s Attorney’s Office filed the following charges against Christopher Marvel:

• 8 Counts of Official Misconduct

• 2 Counts of Solicitation of a Sexual Act

• 1 Count of Defrauding Drug and Alcohol Screening tests

McHenry County Sheriff’s Office is deeply disturbed and disappointed in the actions of now-former detective, Christopher Marvel. The Sheriff’s Office holds each of its employees to a high standard of expectations. Each personnel matter is investigated on a case-by-case basis to ensure we continue to provide professional services to the community. While Marvel failed to rise to the level of expectations we have set forth, we want to also remind our community that we have a dedicated team of deputies who do continually serve the community, promoting safety and equal protection for all.

Any further questions should be directed to the Illinois State Police or McHenry County State’s Attorney’s Office.

Pritzker touts manufacturing training funding, announces cultural districts

Proposed budget includes another $24 million for manufacturing training academies

caPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS

Gov. JB Pritzker was in Normal last week to call attention to recent state funding for manufacturing training academies, including at Heartland Community College.

The governor and college officials celebrated the new 45,000-square-foot facility that opened in January. It includes remodeled space to support programs such as robotics, HVAC, welding and digital media, as well as a newly constructed EV lab.

It was partially funded with a $7.5 state investment in a previous fiscal year from the Rebuild Illinois capital infrastructure program. The state at the time also allocated $7.5 million for a similar facility at Southwestern Illinois College in Belleville.

The training academy program was designed to develop advanced manufacturing training centers to house programs such as electric vehicle technology, renewable energy and robotics. State leaders said a goal was to help community colleges prepare the workforce for area industries—such as EV manufacturer Rivian in Bloomington—and create partnerships between community colleges, businesses and economic

• Mock trial

involved three teenagers, Charlie Spector, Jessie Finch, and Parker Keating, who were on their way home from visiting Illinois colleges when their vehicle struck a City of Lincolnville Public Works vehicle that was parked on the right side of the road. Plaintiff Parker Keating was injured and has sued the driver of the car, Defendant Charlie Spector, for several claims arising out of the crash. The ISBA LRE Mock Trial Subcommittee hopes that this Mock Trial case raises awareness about the dangers of distracted driving; specifically, this problem raises awareness of Illinois’ laws on distracted driving and Scott’s Law (625 ILCS 5/11-907 et. seq.), also commonly called the slow down or move over law.

The teams tried the case twice, both as the prosecution and as the defense. Students performed the roles of both attorneys and witnesses to compete for outstanding performances. Lake County Circuit Judges Sharmila K. Manak, Reginald C. Mathews, Charles W. Smith, and Christopher R. Stride and Lake County Associate Judges Luis A. Berrones, Rhonda K. Bruno, Ari P. Fisz, Bolling W. Haxall, Charles D. Johnson, D. Christopher Lombardo, James R.M. Newman, Paul B. Novak, James K. Simonian, and George D. Strickland presided over the trials; while Assistant State’s Attorneys, Assistant Public Defenders, and practicing trial attorneys volunteered to evaluate and score the students on their ability, presentation, and effectiveness.

Judge Rossetti and Judge Bishop brought the everpopular event to Lake County in 2004, sponsored by the Law-Related Education Initiative, the Lake County Bar Association, the Lake

development organizations.

Pritzker’s proposed budget for the upcoming fiscal year 2025 would include another $24 million in infrastructure funding for similar projects at other community colleges.

“Heartland now serves as a model,” Gov. Pritzker said at the ribbon cutting. “That’s why in the budget that I proposed last week, I’ve proposed an investing another $24 million for manufacturing training academies so that other communities can benefit from the trail that you’re blazing right here in central Illinois.”

At the National Museum of Puerto Rican Arts & Culture last week, Gov. JB Pritzker and other government officials announced the creation of 10 “cultural districts” in Chicago, Champaign and Springfield.

These cultural districts include ethnic enclaves in Chicago and historically Black neighborhoods in Champaign and Springfield.

New birth center to open on Chicago’s South Side as Pritzker touts proposed maternal health spending

State and community leaders on last week celebrated the planned opening of a new

(Continued from front page) County Bar Foundation, and the Lake County Juvenile Officers Association.

After lunch, an awards ceremony was held in the Jury Assembly Room. The individuals who had the top scores for their performances as attorneys and witnesses were named and presented with trophies by Judges Bishop and Rossetti. Lake County Bar Association Executive Director Greg Weider and Lake County Bar Foundation President Joann Fratianni awarded the first, second, and third-place

freestanding birth center on Chicago’s South Side while emphasizing proposed maternal health spending increases in Gov. JB Pritzker’s budget.

The nonprofit Chicago South Side Birth Center will mark the city’s second active midwife-led birth center, but the first for the South Side. Advocates say the Black-led center offers safe birthing alternatives in a medically underserved area of the city.

Jeanine Valrie Logan, a midwife and leader at the Chicago Beyond philanthropic organization that helped launch the birth center, said the push to create more options for family planning would have been impossible without a 2021 law that increased to 17, from 12, the number of birth centers allowed in Illinois.

Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton said facilities like the South Side Birth Center are important in the black community. She discussed how she—and now her grown daughters—have serious hesitations with trusting medical caregivers, especially while pregnant. She shared a story of being called “sweetheart” by a doctor who was giving her a prenatal ultrasound.

“This is personal to me. All these years later, we still ha-

The winning school teams were Third place, Whitney M. Young Magnet High School; Second place, Timothy Christian School “A Team;” and First place, Maine South High School.

In closing, Judge Bishop thanked everyone for their participation and wished the teams good luck as they now prepare for the state competition in March.

ven’t figured out how Black women can have safe pregnancies, birthing experiences and a healthy first year postpartum,” Stratton said.

Last year, the Illinois Department of Public Health found over 90 percent of all deaths for those pregnant or within one year of pregnancy were potentially preventable from 2018 through 2020. That same study, the “2023 Maternal Morbidity and Mortality Report,” also found Black women were two times as likely two

die to from pregnancy-related conditions when compared to white women over the same timespan.

Logan emphasized how freestanding birth centers, where midwives are available to care for pregnant mothers in place of doctors, will transform maternal care for long underserved communities.

It aims “to create a space that will change how people receive reproductive health care,” she said.

Pritzker said Illinois must

start acting on maternal health issues.

“Unfortunately, our nation is failing mothers and mothers-tobe on nearly every metric,” he said. “We have so much to do but imagine what this will look like when it’s completed.”

“The center is intended to offer a full spectrum of reproductive care from contraception to STI screenings and abortion to prenatal birthing and postpartum care, serving as a model for how Illinois can decrease black maternal mortality,” he added.

Bradley University is a top-ranked, private university located in Peoria, Illinois.

After his first foray into an extended season earned rave reviews, the owner of the McHenry Outdoor Theater is raring to go for his earliest-ever season opener — and he’s planning to pack maximum fun into each and every week of the traditional and extended seasons.

“Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire” will kick things off March 22 — weeks before the typical May opening for the outdoor theater at Chapel Hill and Lincoln roads just east of McHenry. There also will be a lead-in film, with a title yet to be determined

“We’re in great shape,” said Scott Dehn, owner. “We’ll be open that whole week of spring break and then Fridays and Saturdays only until Memorial Day weekend, when we go back to seven days a week for the summer.”

Dehn said he is excited not only to welcome back moviegoers who embraced the extended season last year, but also to launch several special events and contests that will keep momentum building.

Among them will be a contest providing a multi-faceted date-night package for one lucky couple each month throughout the season, which

this year will run from late March through mid-December.

The winners receive dinner at a local restaurant and a pair of passes to the Volo Museum — plus a VIP night at the Outdoor where they’ll have special parking, seating in the back of the Outdoor’s decked-out pickup truck, candles, champagne, flowers, and free food and snacks from the Bremer Team Taphouse and Snack Bar.

Those interested should watch the McHenry Outdoor Theater and the Bremer Team –Keller Williams Success Realty Facebook pages for trivia question prompts.

Also in the planning stage is a partnership between the Outdoor, Worldwide Traveler and the Bremer Team to award a lucky family of four a trip to Universal Studios in Florida, complete with airfare and lodging. Dehn said more details on this contest will be upcoming, but that the prize will be awarded during a special celebration at the end of the 2024 season.

“These are just a couple of the extras we have in the works,” Dehn said. “I’m really happy. One of my goals this year was to get more involved with more area businesses, and it’s shaping up really nicely.”

Extending the season both last fall and this spring was made possible by a partnership between the Outdoor and the Bremer Team, which will continue to sponsor free popcorn on Monday nights this season, as well as $14-per-carload Thursdays. Additionally, on opening weekend, the Bremer Team will host an Easter Egg hunt. The event is for children ages 3 to 10 and will take place from 4 to 8 p.m., followed by the movie “Hop,” on Palm Sunday, March 24, at the Outdoor. There is no fee to attend the hunt, but donations for Kids in Need of McHenry County will be accepted. A sign-up form for interested families is located on the Facebook event page.

Regular theater admission ticket prices for 2024 will remain $14 for adults, and $8 for military and those ages 60 and older, as well as for children ages 3 to 11. The $14-per-carload deal will be available both Tuesdays and Thursdays, with the Bremer Team sponsoring the latter. Those younger than 3 are always admitted free.

Jury convicts man of murdering 14-year-old

Late March 1, a jury convicted Alraum Williams, 19, of First-Degree Murder in connection to the 2022 North Chicago shooting of a 14-year-old boy.

The jury trial began on Tuesday, February 27, 2024, lasting four days. The jury heard from more than a dozen witnesses, including law enforcement officers, medical personnel, and expert witnesses.

Williams was first charged after North Chicago Police responded to a report of shots fired on May 15, 2022. When police officers arrived, Brown was critically injured and was transported to a nearby hospital where he succumbed his injuries.

After the guilty verdict, Lake County State’s Attorney Eric Rinehart stated, “Gun violence took the life of a 14-year-old boy in our community, and this offender will be off the streets for a long time because of the work of our veteran trial team. Our victim specialists worked with the family from the beginning and will continue to support them. But “guilty verdicts” are never enough. This defendant had no prior criminal history which is why must also focus on preventing this violence by addressing root causes even as we hold offenders accountable. We can and must do both to have long term safety.”

At the trial, officers from North Chicago, Waukegan, and the Lake County Major Crimes Task Force testified that through their investigation, they learned that the victim, Lavonta Brown, 14, was walking with his friend when a Chevy Malibu, occupied by six passengers, including

Williams, pulled up next to them.

Through surveillance video, officers were able to identify Williams, who was sitting in the rear seat behind the passenger and were able to see when he opened the door of the vehicle and began firing shots at Brown.

Other occupants of the car testified that Williams was in the car when the incident happened and confirmed Williams was sitting in the rear seat behind the passenger’s side of the vehicle.

The driver of the vehicle fled the scene but eventually crashed in front of the Waukegan Home Depot on Lewis Avenue and Belvidere Road. Surveillance videos further showed when the occupants of the vehicle, including Williams, ran out the car in different directions.

Medical experts described the number of injuries Brown had and where they were located at. Firearm experts testified about the type of weapon that was used to kill Brown.

The State was represented by ASA Lillian Lewis, ASA Robert Money, and ASA Caitlin Valiulis. Lake County State’s Attorney Investigators and the Lake County State’s Attorney’s Cyber Lab team all assisted in the preparation of the trial.

Williams is facing up to 75 years in the Department of Corrections. A sentencing hearing is scheduled for April 5.

Prior to the trial, Williams was being held in the Lake County Jail on a $3 million bond. (This cash bond was set by a judge in 2022, before the effective date of bail reform which now prevents individuals charged with murder from posting bond if a judge so decides at the beginning of the case.) After the guilty verdict, Judge Potkonjak revoked his ability to post bail.

Police make arrest in 17-year-old’s overdose death

Jack Foley

The Village of Antioch Police Department has arrested an Antioch township resident on charges related to the overdose death of a 17-year-old. Twenty-year-old Jack Foley has been charged with selling the Antioch teen counterfeit opioid pills that were laced with fentanyl. The overdose occurred last year. Foley was arrested early last week.

Around 5 a.m. on February 11, 2023, Antioch Police responded to a call about a potential overdose victim at a home in the 400 block of IL Route 173. A 17-year-old male was found unresponsive and was later pronounced dead by the Lake County Coroner’s Office. The death was a result of a lethal dose of fentanyl through the consumption of Perc 30 pills.

In collaboration with the Lake County State’s Attorney’s Office, Antioch Police detectives immediately began an investigation into the teen’s death. Through the course of the investigation, it was determined that the teen had obtained counterfeit pills through an acquaintance, 20-year-old Jack Foley of unincorporated Antioch.

On February 22, 2024, an arrest warrant was issued for Foley, charging him with one count of Drug Induced Homicide, a Class X Felony, and a second count of Unlawful Possession of a Controlled Substance with Intent to Deliver, which is a Class 2 felony. Foley was taken into custody by Antioch Police detectives on Wednesday, February 28, 2024, and was transported and turned over to the Lake

County Jail. Antioch Police Chief Geoffrey Guttschow hopes others can learn from this tragic situation.

“A 17-year-old lost his life, while another young man will have to live with the consequences of his decision to engage in the distribution of these dangerous substances into our communities, which has devasting impacts not only within our community but in all communities across the nation,” said Guttschow.

“I encourage parents, teachers, and students to spend time talking about these dangers. Our police department offers resources to anyone who needs them, please take advantage of this help. Whether someone is taking these pills for a cheap high, or selling them for a few bucks, the effects last a lifetime for everyone involved. I would like to personally thank the dedication of the Antioch Police detectives, who lived up to our mission to keep Antioch safe by holding those who do our community harm, accountable for their actions. I’d also like to thank the members of the Lake County State’s Attorney’s Office who were able to assist with bringing a resolution to this investigation.”

All persons arrested are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Anyone with any additional information related to this crime, including security camera video, or anyone who may have been the victim of an unreported crime, should call the Antioch Police dispatch center at 847-270-9111 or email crime@antioch.il.gov.

The driver of the Ford was uninjured, immediately dialed 911 after the crash, and has been cooperative with the investigation.

She was upset because she was there to retrieve belongings from inside but the person who lives in the residence would not open the door to allow her to gather her property. Sheriff’s deputies knocked on the door, however, nobody answered. Sheriff’s deputies suggested Uribe return at a later time with an escort from sheriff’s deputies to retrieve the property. Uribe left the area.

At approximately 10:00 a.m., a sheriff’s deputy was in the same neighborhood completing paperwork in his squad car. He observed Uribe return to the residence in a vehicle.
