A Cook County assistant state's attorney has been charged drug possession. Chad Sabora, who has been an assistant state's attorney since 2005, is accused of having about $50 worth of heroin on him after police officers, patrolling in South Austin, spotted him "sitting in his car ingesting a white powdery substance that had been dumped on a compact disc case."

"There's a Where Chicago magazine?"
It should be called "Where's Chicago", as the only place you're likely to find a copy is in your hotel room.
Doing blows in your car. Wow.
Ha ha, I remember that game -- probably the wildest game I saw last season. The Cubs were up 8-3 heading into the ninth, then gave up 6 runs with nobody out. That's when the guy ran out on to the field. Then in the bottom of the ninth, they loaded the bases, in part due to a Colorado error that extended the game and got Soriano to the plate, who singled in the winning runs.
I swear to Jeebus, the next Cubs fan I hear crack on us for having a fan leap out of the stands to kick someone's ass gets a pistol whipping.
i went to high school with brent! my friend went to prom with him. i am very proud of what he has accomplished.
I bet the police were racially profilling when they spotted a white guy in Austin snorting Heroin. For gods sake white states attorneys with heroin problems have rights too this needs to be protested.
