Suspects identified and arrested for Coronavirus stunt at local store after surveillance images were distributed, wallace was identified and turned himself into police by brian stanley bugle staff

@BugleNewspapers bstanley@buglenewspapers.com

T

wo teens allegedly used a worldwide health crisis to scare customers and employees and damage more than $7,000 in merchandise Feb. 2 at a

Joliet Walmart.

Shortly after 4 p.m. Tyler D. Wallace, 19, and a 17-year-old boy entered the store at 1401 Route 59 and Wallace put on a yellow medical mask, according to police reports.

“The masked suspect also had a handmade sign on his back that stated ‘Caution I have the Coronavirus,’” Sgt. Chris Botzum said in a statement.

Wallace then allegedly took an aerosol can and walked through the store spraying produce, clothing and beauty products. The suspects

then fled in a white GMC Yukon.

Walmart told police $7,300 in product was ruined and cleanup would cost $2,400.

After surveillance images were distributed, Wallace was identified and turned himself into police Feb. 6. Wallace, of Joliet, has been charged with disorderly conduct, criminal trespassing and retail theft. The Will County State’s Attorney’s office said Wallace’s accomplice has also been identified and faces similar charges in the juvenile justice system.

social media threat forces shorewood police to use extra patrol extra manpower was deployed to every school in the village and other sites where children gather in the morning by brian stanley

bugle staff

@BugleNewspapers bstanley@buglenewspapers.com

S

horewood Police used extra patrols Feb. 5 when a terrorist-like threat was posted on social media.

Chief Aaron Klima said the “vague and unspecified threat to create a mass-casualty incident in Shorewood, Illinois” popped up in the early morning hours on an anonymous site and was later reposted on Twitter. Klima said surveillance software used by the Federal Bureau of Investigation identified the threat and the agen-

cy notified the Shorewood police.

“Due to the lack of specific information or intentions of the poster, the Shorewood Police Department decided to act with an abundance of caution,” Klima said.

Extra manpower was deployed to every school in the village and other sites where children gather in the morning, Klima said.

“School personnel were engaged to ensure all established normal security measures were in place and to be extra vigilant for any suspicious behavior,” Klima said. “(We) reached out to nearby law enforcement partners as well as the school district administrations to ensure the safety of everyone.

Local and federal law enforcement did not identify any suspect, but said Feb. 6 the initial investigation determined the threat was not credible. Klima said the investigation will continue.

large ruts create potential hazard along wauponsee glacial trail Forest preserve district is working to resolve the issue

Path users should proceed with caution along a portion of the Wauponsee Glacial Trail just south of Laraway Road in Joliet, where two large ruts or bumps were inadvertently created during contractual work taking place in the area. The potential hazard is about fourtenths of a mile south of Laraway Road.

Contractors driving across

the trail to perform tasks on the ComEd high power lines at that location created two large ruts or bumps in the crushed limestone trail.

After the damage to the trail was discovered by Forest Preserve staff, warning signs were erected to let trail users know about the bumps as they approach from the north or south.

The Forest Preserve District is working to resolve the issue. However, winter conditions may delay the work.

Angels earn repeat state trophy Jca places third at ihsa dance competition by ryan ostry bugle staff

@RyanOstry_BR18 rostry@buglenewspapers.com

The Joliet Catholic Academy varsity girls dance team received a thirdplace finish in their quest to repeat as IHSA Class 1A state champions at Grossinger Motors Arena in Bloominton, IL. The competition began on Jan. 31 in the preliminary round and scores were determined in Saturday’s final round on Feb.1.

To honor the Angels, an all-school assembly took place on Feb. 4 to showcase the dancers talent and hard work that came to fruition once again.

As a coaching staff, this was the Angels first year with head coach Kelsey Kempes and assistants Kristina Sak and Carley Serena.

“Our season is a year around sport that really never stops,” Sak said.

“From football season, to our competitive tryout after football season and then we had about three weeks to get our routine and costume together with this team here.”

The girls first competition of the year was at the Wheaton North High School Invitational where the Angels outscored the second-place finisher by 7.92 points.

“That is really hard to do because usually a win is by a single point or less,” Sak said. “For the girls to win by that much is extremely impressive.”

The girls followed that performance up by going to the Minooka Invitational where they took first place, and then they followed that up with a third place finish at the Morris Invitational and then they moved on to claim the 2020 Sectional Championship where they earned first place with a score of 93.78.

The 93.78 score was the second highest score among the state’s five

sectional sites feeding into the state finals.

After sectionals, the Angels took their talents to state which was just a week after, and during the semifinals, the Angels scored a 95.82 that broke the all-time 1A State Championship score.

“That was pretty incredible,” Sak said. “Teams were really looking at our team a lot because they thought if they made it to the finals, then they would go against us.”

During the finals, the Angels scored a 96.16 out of 100 which solidified their third-place finish.

The first-place team was Centralia

High School and the second-place finisher was Morris High School.

“It was a great effort all around,” Sak said. “We couldn’t be prouder of our girls efforts.”

The Angels were led this past season by their three captains and five seniors who were all a part of the first-place state finish last year.

“This year I think we worked a lot harder and improved significantly over last year,” said captain Erica Passo. “I think our routine this year was a lot more difficult than last years, but collectively, even though we didn’t get first, I think we improved a lot more.”

One variable that the Angels didn’t have as much of last year was the amount of Freshman added to the roster.

This year, five new freshmen were a part of the team, and one captain said they grew up quickly when the team depended on them at a crucial time.

“We got a lot more talent added to this team with the five amazing freshmen that were with us,” said Captain Mallory Paolucci. “They added a great quality of technique to this team, and even know understandably they were kind of nervous at the big stage, they really stepped

up when our team needed them to and they delivered in a great way.”

Sak, to go along with Paolucci, also added that because of the five newcomers this year, the future of JCA dance is looking up as the sky is the limit.

“The five freshmen that came in are supremely talented and they have all learned so much from the upper classmen this year,” Sak said.

“Even at state, they said that this team danced like a college team including the freshmen which was a huge honor, so even though we will really miss all of our seniors, the future is looking bright for us.”

biosah and bailey lead usF to fourth place at windy city rumble moses biosah claimed top individual honors in both the 60-meter and 200-meter dashes

A

pair of first-place finishes by Moses Biosah (SO/Maywood, Ill.) and one from Davual Bailey (FR/Joliet, Ill.) helped led the nationally seventh-ranked University of St. Francis men’s indoor track and field team to fourth place at the University of Chicago’s Windy CIty Rumble Meet, which was held this Saturday (Feb. 8) at UChicago’s Henry Crown Field House.

Moses Biosah claimed top individual honors in both the 60-meter and 200-meter dashes while Davual Bailey attained first place in the long jump for USF, which amassed 86 team points. Host University of Chicago was crowned the 2020 meet champion with 156 points and Wheaton (Ill.) took second place with 128 points.

Finishing one place in front of USF

was Valparaiso, which accumulated 112 points while Saint Xavier took fifth place with 47 points among nine schools competing.

In the 60 meters, Moses Biosah was the first to cross the finish line with a NAIA ‘B’ standard qualifying time of 6.92. Davual Bailey was third at 7.06 followed by Kenny Brown (JR/ Plainfield, Ill.), who ran 7.10 for fourth place. Biosah’s other first-place performance was in the 200 meters as he sprinted a time of 22.59. The 400-meter dash saw USF’s Elihu Young (SO/ Blue Island, Ill.) run a 51.09 to place third. Kaizer Giddie (SO/Plainfield, Ill.) took fifth with a 52.14 time while the eighth thru 10th-place positions went to Anthony Suero (FR/Shorewood, Ill.) (55.01), Thomas Brown (SR/Olympia Fields, Ill.) (55.11), and Riley McIntyre

(SO/Joliet, Ill.) (57.45) in that order.

The mile run was highlighted by Pedro Ocampo’s (FR/Berwyn, Ill.) second-place 4:17.92 time, which also represented a NAIA ‘A’ standard qualifying mark. Mark Dames (FR/ Channahon, Ill.) ran a 4:33.16 time for 15th place and Thomas Brown was 16th by posting a 4:33.33 time. Zachary Hoover (JR/Crown Point, Ind.) paced the Saints in the 3,000-meter run by registering a seventh-place 9:01.24 time. In the 800 meters, Mark Dames was the first Saints’ runner to cross the finish line with an 11th-place time of 2:05.44. Timothy Wade (FR/ Joliet, Ill.) also recorded a top 15 placing as he garnered 14th place by running a time of 2:08.67.

Tighten up spending to pay off debt you guys need to get on a written, detailed plan, and start hitting your goals dear dave, I’m beginning to think we got in over our heads with our house. My wife and I make about $125,000 a year combined, but we’ve never been able to put anything aside for an emergency fund. Our mortgage payment is 35 percent of our take home pay each month. We have two young children, so we eat out a lot, but we have no debt other than our house. Do you think we should refinance our home?

dear Jeff,

Jeff

You two are making good money,

and you’re debt-free except for your home. You can’t tighten up your budget enough to save up an emergency fund? Stay out of restaurants, dude!

There’s no law stating you have to eat out a lot just because there are kids in the house. I mean, you’ve got no emergency fund. That’s a pretty basic thing. You guys need to get on a written, detailed plan, and start hitting your goals. I’m talking about a strict, monthly budget. Now, I’ll admit your mortgage payment isn’t exactly what I would’ve signed you up for. Your house payments, or rent, should be no more than 25 percent of your monthly take home pay. But your house payment isn’t what’s holding you two back. What’s holding you two back is the fact that you haven’t been willing

at ways to increase your income and selling stuff you don’t need to build an emergency fund. You two have been smarter than some, but you’re really going to have to buckle down and rearrange your priorities to make this happen!

dear dave,

@DaveRamsey daveramsey.com

I have around $15,000 in a Roth IRA. I just recently started studying your advice, and I was wondering if it would be a good idea to cash it out and put the money toward debt.

dear sarah, to tighten up the finances in other areas of your life to offset biting off more than you could chew in terms of a home.

No, I wouldn’t refinance. You’re fairly close where the mortgage payments are concerned, so I think you can make it through this by looking

I teach people to stop investing temporarily while they attack their debt. So, I wouldn’t add anything to it at this point, but the worst thing you could do is cash it out. If you do, taxes and penalties will steal a huge chunk of that cash. The only time I take money out of a retirement account to

pay off debt is to avoid bankruptcy or foreclosure.

Start working the Baby Steps from the beginning. Baby Step 1 is saving up $1,000 for a starter emergency fund. Baby Step 2 is paying off all debts from smallest to largest, except for your home, using the debt snowball method. This will free up a ton of money! Then you’re ready for Baby Step 3, which is increasing your beginner emergency fund to a fullyloaded emergency fund of three to six months of expenses. Now you’re ready for Baby Step 4, which is 15 percent of your income going into retirement!

W

ashington, DC – On Feb. 5, Congressman Bill Foster (D-IL) issued the following statement in response to the U.S. Senate’s final votes on the Articles of Impeachment against President Donald J. Trump: “With this vote, the complicity of congressional Republicans in President Trump’s corruption, abuse of power, and undermining of our Constitution is complete.

Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans placed protecting the President above their duty to uphold the Constitution and to do impartial justice.

“The House of Representatives was right to impeach President Trump and hold him accountable for his actions. There can be no true acquittal without a trial, and there cannot be a trial without witnesses and evidence.
