cook county

A Cook County judge who was found not guilty of misdemeanor battery by reason of insanity after shoving a sheriff's deputy has been removed from the bench.

The head of a legislative commission that helps review use of public funds says he'll seek subpoena powers to investigate Governor Pat Quinn's 2010 anti-violence program.

The Quincy, IL Police Department assisted the Chicago, IL Police Department by locating and arresting Carl Morris, who had a warrant for First Degree Murder in Cook County, at 8th and R.J. Peters. He is currently lodged in the Adams County Jail.
