Dog Killing Inmate Creating More Problems


 

Terrence Williams, who is featured above in this mugshot photo, was convicted of killing a dog in 2018, but now has gotten into more trouble after throwing feces and urine on the employees who work at the Will County Jail. 

In October of 2018 Will County Circuit Judge Sarah Jones sentenced Williams to one year in the Illinois Department of Corrections after he pled guilty to abusing and brutalizing a dog. The felony of aggravated cruel treatment of animals came after court documents claimed “defendant picked [the] dog up and slapped (sassy) cracking skull of dog open, then kicked [the] dog back into owner’s yard. Dog passed away from the injuries sustained by defendant’s actions.” After serving 41 days in the Will County Jail as he was awaiting trial, Judge Jones game him good time credit for the 41 days.

Williams was arrested three years ago this October on charges of unlawful possession of a stolen gun, unlawful use of a weapon by a felon and a charge of criminal trespass to a residence. As of right now Williams’ bail is set at $637,500, but it is steadily going up. 

Williams’ bail is on the rise due to his behavior while in the custody of Sheriff Mike Kelley and the Will County Adult Detention Facility on South Chicago Street. A mental fitness evaluation has been ordered for Williams by Will County Judge Daniel Rippy to determine if Williams is fit to stand trial for all his criminal charges. Williams is dues to appear is Rippy’s courtroom on October 14.

List of charges Williams is facing since this summer:

            September 14, charged with public indecency and disorderly conduct. July 28, charged with battery (threw urine on a fellow inmate). July 26, charged with aggravated battery (throwing more urine, this time at a female Will County Sherriff Deputy). July 9, charged with disorderly conduct (exposing himself and urinating to provoke a disturbance). July 4, charged with battery (threw a container of fluid hitting another Will County Sherriff). June 27, charged with criminal damage to property (damaged a window from the Will County Sheriff Adult Detention Facility).

Wisconsin High School Sports Face An Uncertain Winter Season

By Sarah Vandermolen photo courtesy of nytimes.com Although most Wisconsin high schools decided to compete in fall sports this year, it seems some schools will not have the same luck for the winter sport season. Unlike other states, Wisconsin does not have a statewide mandate in regards to high school sports. For this reason, the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association (WIAA) has left school districts to decide whether they will be participating in winter sports.  Due to the increase of COVID-19 cases, many high schools in Wisconsin have decided to suspend their winter sport season, while others are charging forward with competitions. However, even if schools decide to hold their winter season, not all high schools will begin on time.  According to rivertowns.net , "Locally, River Falls and New Richmond have suspended all athletics and activities through Dec. 7, while Hudson, St. Croix Central and Somerset are beginning as planned."  St. Croix Central athletic dire...
