On September 25, 2005, Vincent Glover, 38, saw a woman walking on Vermont Street near a Metra train station and came up behind her and put a knife to her throat. Two citizens aided her in subduing Glover until the police arrived. In a bench trial on Wednesday, November 4, Judge Luciano Panici found Glover guilty of attempted first-degree murder. Glover could be sentence to 30 years in prison.
In northwest Indiana, an Indiana state trooper pulled over a motorist on Thursday morning at about 2:20 a.m. The motorist failed the field sobriety test and was taken to the Portage police department for a breath test. At the station it was revealed that his blood-alcohol level was almost four times the state's legal limit of .08 percent. The motorist was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol. The irony of this arrest is that the motorist name was Zachary Duis, 24, of Portage, Indiana. He was also wanted on two warrants for resisting law enforcement officers and furnishing alcohol to a minor.
