Man arrested for burglary after stolen car was found behind a building
PEORIA, Ill. (WMBD) — One man is in jail Tuesday after being arrested by Peoria police for allegedly breaking into a building after he stolen a van. Bryson R. Lathum, 29, was booked on a slew of charges that included possession of a stolen motor vehicle, criminal damage to property and burglary. According to Peoria police, he was nabbed at about 8:30 a.m. Monday in the 700 block of East Virginia Avenue after they were called to the area on a report of a burglary, a police spokeswoman said. When officers arrived, they found the 2017 white Ford Econoline van which was reported stolen in Peoria Heights less than an hour beforehand. According to a report filed at the Peoria Heights Police Department, the van was taken from the 500 block of East Glen Avenue which is the Peoria Heights High School bus barn. A Peoria Heights officer was able to identify Lathum based upon security video footage which briefly showed his face. The van was reported stolen and within about 30 minutes, it was located at the East Bluff address, according to the report. The security footage from the school property allegedly showed Lathum taking items from the school's concession stand before he allegedly took the van., the report said. When officers searched the building on Virginia, they allegedly found Lathum trying to hide in a walk-in cooler inside the building with keys to the car and building keys within his reach, the report said. When questioned, Lathum declined to answer questions. It was not immediately clear if when or if he would be formally charged in court on the allegations. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Inside IndyStar: Larry Bisceglia was equal parts nostalgia and tradition for the Indy 500
Two vehicles caught my eye in September 2023 when the Indianapolis Speedway Museum began clearing out its basement ahead of recent renovations. They weren't race cars, but those of everyday fan Larry Bisceglia, a tire mechanic and wanderer who spent most of his life on the West Coast. As someone not originally from Indiana, I was unfamiliar with his name. I wondered why the museum had not one, but two of his rather unremarkable vehicles — a Chevy panel truck and a Ford Econoline van, both covered in race stickers and parked next to some of the museum's most prized race cars. 'Larry was famous for being first in line,' Luke Edwards, a former museum employee, told me. 'He became really a local celebrity.' For 37 years Biceglia would be the first in line at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, driving from the West Coast and sometimes arriving at the track's entrance in April. He would live out of his vehicle during his annual pilgrimage to IMS. I delved into the Indianapolis Star's archives and was delighted to find a collection of images documenting Bisceglia's 37-year tradition, starting in 1950. Our reporters and photographers covered his arrival at the track each year. Even in his later years, when illness prevented him from showing up, they coordinated his air travel to ensure he made it to the race. "Those vans are probably a key memory to a lot of spectators," Jason VanSickle, IMS Museum vice president of curation and education, said. "In some cases, they connect more to the vans we have than to some of the race winners or cars we have in our collection." Why revisit Bisceglia's story? Because the blend of nostalgia and tradition is too compelling not to share and defines the passion of the ordinary race fan.

Leader of Kennedy Street Crew sentenced to over 13 years in federal prison
WASHINGTON (DC News Now) — The leader and money launderer of a 'violent' Northwest D.C. street crew was sentenced Thursday to over 13 years in prison, according to the United States Attorney's Office (USAO) for the District of Columbia. Kenneth Amedola Olugbenga, 29, is a known member of the Kennedy Street Crew (KDY), a massive drug trafficking organization that operated in open-air markets, also known as street markets, within Northwest D.C., the USAO states. Court records say Olugbenga was sentenced to 160 months in prison and four years of supervised release. He was also ordered to forfeit $374,598. Investigators never arrested Kilmar Abrego Garcia, Prince George's County police clarify He pleaded guilty in September to charges of conspiracy to distribute 500 grams or more of cocaine, cocaine base and marijuana, and for possessing a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking offense. The USAO says that KDY members ran open-air drug markets throughout the 11-block stretch of Kennedy and surrounding streets. The crew armed themselves to defend their territory from rival gangs and to facilitate the drug trade. According to Olugbenga's confession, he served as an organizer and leader of KDY and claims he was one of the originators of the crew's commercial flight drug trafficking from California. He flew on nearly 72 round-trip flights over four years and spent nearly $21,000 on one-way tickets within one year. Olugbenga also claimed he served as the head of money laundering for KDY, where he established fake companies, including an auto detailing business, to serve as a front for the crew's drug trafficking earnings. He used the fake businesses to apply for the forgivable Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) from the Small Business Administration during the COVID-19 pandemic to gain more money to buy narcotics in bulk. DC woman sentenced for attacking couple leaving Metro station Court documents say from 2019 until his arrest in June 2023, he also used a local casino to launder $1.8 million. He tracked drug expenses, debts and took note of law enforcement drug seizures to avoid detection. The USAO states that Olugbenga was a bulk supplier of both powdered and crack cocaine as well as marijuana. He referred buyers to other KDY drug trafficking operations when the customer requested narcotics that he did not currently have in his possession. The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) conducted 15 controlled purchases from him, totalling 52.3 grams of cocaine base. According to court documents, in February 2023, MPD officers noticed a Ford Econoline van swerving into oncoming traffic to pass a bicyclist in the 500 block of Emerson Street NW. Officers noticed the van was the same vehicle Olugbenga had been reported using in the open-air drug market for the previous four years. Man charged for allegedly stabbing Metro Transit sergeant MPD states the officer attempted to conduct a traffic stop when Olugbenga drove away from the scene, eventually stopping near the intersection of 7th and Longfellow Streets NW. There, Olugbenga exited the van and ran from the scene, prompting a search of the van. Officers seized distribution quantities of crack cocaine and marijuana, a loaded Glock handgun, a drug ledger, and a brochure for one of Olugbenga's fake companies. Court documents say Olugbenga was arrested in June 2023 while a search warrant was executed for two of his homes, where officers seized five kilos of marijuana, nearly a kilo of cocaine, and various scales. The USAO states this was a part of a coordinated arrest operation. According to the USAO, 16 of the 17 KDY members charged have been sentenced, with the final sentencing of Co-defendant Jovan Williams taking place Friday, April 18. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
