Area Narcotics Officers Give Parents the ABC’s of Drugs

Officers teach parents about new drug trends.

  It looks like a Jolly Rancher only the main ingredient is marijuana. Candy weed is a new trend in the ever-changing drug world, Lake in the Hills narcotics officers told District 158 parents at a recent drug forum. There’s also cannabutter, which is a butter infused with marijuana. “The fact is our adolescents are living in a drug culture that didn’t exist before,” LITH Detective Lloyd Howen said. Exposure to illegal drugs dramatically increases when students transition from elementary schools to junior high school, Howen said. The forum was held at Marlowe Middle School on Thursday. The more common drugs teens are exposed to in LITH and McHenry County are cocaine, heroin and marijuana, Howen said. Alcohol continues to be a drug of …

LITH Police Commission Discharges Injured Officer

Patrolman Craig James has been on a leave of absence for more than one year after he was injured on the job in December 2009.

The Lake in the Hills Police Commission unanimously voted to discharge a veteran police officer who was injured on the job two years ago. After hearing comments from both James Wales, director of police and public safety for the LITH Polce Department, and injured officer Craig James, the three-member commission on Tuesday night determined James would never be physically capable of returning to his patrol duties. The decision was difficult for the commissioners. After the meeting, two stopped to shake hands with James and said, "I'm sorry." Commissioner Travis Wilbert thanked James for his 16 years of service to the village. Wales told the commission he needs to replace James as his department is desperately understaffed due to James' …

I think the LITH village board should hear from each off duty LITH police officer, every Algonquin police officer, ever Huntly police officer and every Crystal Lake police officer about this topic. The rule states each of us can have the floor for 5-min. This could really capture the interest of the media depending on turnout and frequency. Let’s unify, get up, and take action now. I also think …   more ›

I have to comment that I was recently rear-ended in ALGONQUIN...while in heavy traffic northbound on Randall Road approaching Bunker Hill intersection. It was a "hit and run", but, since my damage is less than $1,500, the Algonquin Police Department did not file a report even though I had the car's license plate and a description of the vehicle. I believe there are more "fender benders" in …   more ›

LITH Police Increase Enforcement For Holidays

Police officials remind drivers to buckle up, not to drink and drive or let family members or friends drive while intoxicated.

"The numbers do not lie and the costs of driving impaired or unbuckled are high both financially and emotionally when crashes occur," said James Wales, Director of…

Ten LITH businesses that sell cigarettes passed the police department's compliance test in recent weeks.
