Students escape injury in Beach Park crash involving school bus
A Zion man may have suffered a medical emergency before his SUV struck four other vehicles, including a school bus, Tuesday morning in Beach Park, the Lake County Sheriff's Office said. The man, 74, was brought to a hospital in critical condition following the crash, which occurred at about 8 a.m. near the Sheridan Road and Michigan Boulevard intersection. Police said the man was headed north on Sheridan Road when his GMC SUV struck the activated stop arm of a school bus that was picking up students. The vehicle then sideswiped a Ford Focus, sending the vehicle into a utility pole. The SUV then hit two more southbound vehicles, one being driven by a Winthrop Harbor man and the other by a Fox Lake woman. There were only two students on the bus, and neither of them nor the driver was hurt. The children boarding the bus were also uninjured. The Focus driver, a 49-year-old Beach Park man, and the Fox Lake woman suffered serious injuries, but they are not considered life-threatening, police said. The crash remains under investigation.

Law & Order column: Zion man charged in restaurant robbery
Authorities say that they have charged a Zion man for an armed robbery of a fast-food restaurant in Beach Park. Shane L. Lones, 41, of the 1800 block of Jethro Avenue, was arrested by Lake County Sheriff's Office detectives on May 23, the day after the robbery in the 38900 block of North Lewis. Police said that a man entered the restaurant at about 7:35 p.m. on May 22 and produced a knife before taking money from the cash register and fleeing. Neither employee at the business was hurt. Detectives traced several leads that indicated Lones was the perpetrator, including security camera footage that shows Lones entering a nearby vehicle after the hold-up, police said. The following day, detectives found Lones in his car near his residence and took him into custody. A subsequent search turned up clothing police say Lones wore during the robbery. He has been charged with one count of armed robbery, and was ordered detained until trial, according to court records. Lake County Coroner Jennifer Banek recently earned her master's degree in health administration, which she said she hopes will help her perform her duties. Banek, who is an advanced practice nurse, completed her degree through George Washington University. 'As both an advanced practice nurse and a public official, I pursued this degree to better advocate for systemic improvements, enhance interagency coordination, and bring forward-thinking leadership to my office and to Lake County as a whole,' she said. Lake County Board Chairman Sandy Hart lauded the coroner. 'Jennifer's pursuit of an MHA is a testament to her commitment to strengthening public health infrastructure in Lake County,' Hart said. 'Her clinical background, combined with advanced administrative training, gives her a unique and powerful perspective as our coroner.' State's Attorney Eric Rinehart said Banek's investment in advanced education, 'shows the kind of proactive leadership that builds stronger, healthier communities. We applaud her initiative and look forward to even deeper collaboration between our departments.' Grayslake Police Chief Jeff Myrha is the guest on the latest episode of the 'Discovering Grayslake' podcast. Myhra, according to the podcast, discusses his life in law enforcement, and 'his passion for fostering a safe, connected community.' Myhra was appointed chief in August 2024 after serving as deputy chief for 10 years. He started as a community service officer in 1997, and worked his way up through the ranks before replacing Phil Perlini, who retired. A link to the podcast is available on the Grayslake police Facebook page. The city of Highland Park held a reception to recognize the law enforcement, first responders and medical professionals who provided emergency care to a man suffering a heart attack this spring. The city presented commendations to Office Ginger Stokes and dentist Dr. Michael Czarkowski, and recognized the professionalism and lifesaving contributions of Highland Park firefighter/EMTs Kevin Best, Andrew Beverly, Trevor Mount, and Nick Traske, and Dr. Benjamin Feinzimer of Endeavor Health's Physician Response Vehicle Program. August Swanenberg, who suffered the medical emergency and is recovering, was on hand at the City Council chambers. He was leaving the Chicago Botanical Garden on March 11 when he suffered a cardiac event while driving. Stokes used her department-issued defibrillator and, along with bystanders, including Czarkowski and paramedics, was able to re-establish Swanenberg's heartbeat. 'I am one lucky bird,' Swanenberg told the City Council and members of the audience at the May 27 event.

Undocumented immigrant arrested after attacking woman repossessing his car: Officials
The Brief An undocumented immigrant is accused of attacking two tow truck drivers who were repossessing his car. He's now facing several battery-related charges, and is on an ICE detainer. The suspect, Enio Corgozinho, was arrested just a year and a half ago. TAVARES, Fla. - A man living in the U.S. illegally has been arrested and placed on an ICE detainer following what authorities describe as a violent attack on a couple attempting to repossess his vehicle, according to the Lake County Sheriff's Office. What we know A couple said they were repossessing a man's car when he attacked them. According to Enio Corgozinho's arrest report, he hit a woman in the chest, abdomen, and left arm, and removed her from the vehicle. She later stopped breathing. Her husband told FOX 35 News she's since had a stroke and stopped breathing several other times in the hospital, resulting in her brain being without oxygen for eight full minutes following the attack. Corgozinho is also accused of pushing the husband, who was driving the tow truck while his wife was inside the repossessed car. What we don't know Corgozinho has a history of prior arrests, including one about 18 months ago for driving with a suspended license and for using an out-of-state license while his Florida license was suspended. It remains unclear why Corgozinho, who also has an ID card from Massachusetts, was not deported following those previous offenses. What they're saying The 911 audio of the incident recorded the husband shouting at who law enforcement says was Corgozinho. "Please! He's attacking my wife!" he tells the 911 operator, shouting, "Back away!" at Corgozinho. Body camera video of Corgozinho's arrest shows deputies shouting at Corgozinho repeatedly, "Get on your knees! Turn around, get on your knees!" His arrest report says initially he was not compliant, but he did eventually follow those orders. What's next Corgozinho remains in custody and is currently under an Immigration and Customs Enforcement hold pending further legal proceedings.

The suspect allegedly entered the restaurant with a knife and demanded money from the cash register. Detectives later arrested Shane L. Jones and charged him with armed robbery. BEACH PARK, Ill. - A Zion man was arrested and charged in connection with an armed robbery of a north suburban fast food restaurant last week. Shane L.
