DuPage County State’s Attorney Bob Berlin seems to be making a statement: DuPage County will aggressively enforce gun laws using whatever means available.

The most recent incident occurred last Thursday, when Naperville police pulled over a vehicle with tinted windows for allegedly failing to signal when changing lanes. As the officer approached the vehicle, he observed the driver allegedly moving about the front interior of the car. Upon making…

However, the Illinois Appellate Court Second District, citing concerns with an expert witness, nullified the jury’s guilty verdict and ordered a new trial.

Welcome to our latest edition of Fox Valley Magazine’s 4 FOR THE WEEKEND where where we identify as TMZ. So let’s get to it, starting with….. Keep On Truckin’ Just when did the whole “food truck” thing start? See, we never remember knowing anything about food trucks growing up. Or even 5 years ago. We remember this one movie about a big-shot chef getting fired and “going back to his roots” by getting a food truck in Miami and coming up with the perfect Cuban sandwich, thereby regaining his mojo and getting a new restaurant. Cute movie, but could that…
Early this morning a driver being pulled over for speeding in Aurora Township suddenly hit the gas, turned off his lights, and led police on a scary chase that nearly ended in tragedy.

Officers of the Wayne Police Department have been hoofing around the underbrush for the past two weeks in search of what appears to be a family of four pigs. According to a post on its social media, the Department believes that the freedom-loving swine have been on the lamb (so to speak) since approximately July 25. On August 2, coppers thought they had the porky desperados dead to rights on the western side of…
