Suburban homeowner shoots 2 home invasion suspects
December 26, 2009 11:36 PM
Two male suspects were shot Saturday night during an apparent home invasion in Wauconda, police said.
While few details were being released pending the ongoing investigation, Wauconda police late Saturday said the first call came in at 5:47 p.m. from a residence in the Country Ridge subdivision in the far northwestern suburb.
Two masked males had pushed their way into the home and would not leave after repeated demands and physical altercations with the two homeowners, police said.
One of the homeowners shot both suspects, who were found wounded in front of the home when police arrived on the scene, according to a Wauconda police news release.
The two wounded suspects were taken to Good Shepherd Hospital in Barrington for treatment of gunshot wounds, but police could not provide details on the wounds or conditions for the two. The residents of the home were also taken to the same hospital to be checked out, and were treated and released.
Wauconda police late Saturday were not releasing additional details, saying more information might be available Sunday following an ongoing investigation with members of the Lake County Major Crimes Task Force. http://www.chicagobreakingnews.com

MAN ARRESTED FOR BASHING HEADS WITH BEER BOTTLE AT A X-MAS PARTY(this must of been some party!)
A Brooklyn, N.Y., man was ordered held on $250,000 bond Saturday after he was charged with bashing two brothers with a beer bottle at a Christmas Day party in Round Lake Beach.
Lake County Assistant State's Attorney Scott Turk said one of the injured men, a 24-year-old from Round Lake Beach, lost the tip of his left ear in the fracas.
Turk said the suspect, Venarco Crespo, 26, was in Lake County visiting friends and relatives for the holidays and attended a Christmas party in the 1600 block of Williams Drive around 1:40 p.m. on Friday.
Turk said Crespo got into an argument with the girlfriend of the 34-year-old older brother, who stepped in to break it up.
Crespo, police said, hit the man in the face with a beer bottle, Turk said, breaking the bottle and leaving a swollen red mark across his face.
The 24-year-old younger brother confronted Crespo, Turk said, and Crespo swung the bottle at him and cut off the upper part of his left ear.
The 24-year-old needed several stitches to close the wound, Turk said; the older brother did not require hospitalization.
Turk told Associate Judge Donna-Jo Vorderstrasse that Crespo is a construction worker in New York who has prior convictions for assault, robbery, larceny and possession of drugs.
Vorderstrasse told Crespo that if he posts the $25,000 cash needed for his bond he is not to leave the state of Illinois while the case is pending.
Turk said Crespo, who is to appear in court again Jan. 11, faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted of aggravated battery against both men. http://www.dailyherald.com

(A CHRISTMAS STORY) SANTA ARRESTED FOR TRESPASSING.....
CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – Santa Claus' sleigh ride around the world hit a snag in Clarksville early Christmas after the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office arrested the jolly old elf for trespassing.
Sheriff Norm Lewis found a suspect on his roof late Christmas eve.
"Santa was coming down the neighbor's chimney. He looked suspicious," said Lewis' neighbors Jackie and Jennifer Jerkins.
"He was a white male subject with a long beard. I believe he had eight tiny reindeer perched on his house," said Ted Denny, spokesperson for the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office.
Kris Kringle, age unknown, was booked into the Montgomery County jail, charged with trespassing.
One by one, investigators put the pieces together, and eventually they came to realize what the Jerkins had known all along.
"We said sheriff no! He's supposed to be out here! He's our friend! He's got our gifts, you gotta let him go!" said the Jerkins.
And that's exactly what Sheriff Lewis did.
"We realized he had gainful employment, and was from the North Pole – and we needed to release him as quickly as possible," said Denny.
The rest of the night went without a hitch – it must have, judging from the toys and presents that covered the floor of the Jerkins' living room.
"It was a close call, a very close call, but we had fun, Santa came through and Christmas is here," said the Jerkins. READ FULL STORY AND SEE NEWS VIDEO AT:http://www.newschanel5.com

MAN HELD WITHOUT BOND ON MURDER CHARGES
The 48-year-old man accused of killing a Hyde Park man just after he left a South Side restaurant with food for a Christmas Eve party was ordered held in jail without bond this morning.
Lee Cration was not in court this morning as a judge made the order; a Chicago police officer at the hearing said he had been hospitalized after complaining of chest pains.
Cration, who is on parole for a 1985 murder conviction, is charged with attempted armed robbery, violation of parole and first-degree murder in connection with the slaying of Ralph Elliott, 79, of the 1400 block of East 55th Street.
About 4 p.m. Thursday Elliott had just picked up chicken from a Popeye's restaurant at 848 E. 47th St. when a man approached him with a gun. They scuffled, and the man shot Elliott twice, once in the face and once in the shoulder, then rummaged through his pockets and fled, police said.
Cration was arrested a short distance away and identified by witnesses as the gunman, police said. http://www.chicagobreakingnews.com
