- Apparently MacGruber passed through northwest suburban McHenry sometime over the weekend.
- Cabbie's defense in pot charge: "Hey, at least I wasn't selling meth!"
- Calm down, ladies! There are plenty of waterfall cardigans for everyone.
- A man has been charged with striking and dragging a state trooper with his car after the entire incident was caught on camera.
- The economy is tough, even for those in the luxury hotel industry. A former employee of the W Chicago-Lakeshore Hotel has been charged with stealing over $122,000 in payroll cash.
- Just how much is scrap metal worth nowadays, anyway? Burglars forced their way into a home in Chicago Heights, but instead of taking the usual items like computers and TVs, the thieves made off with only one item -- a washing machine.
