Crystal Lake PD announces crime, arrest

The Crystal Lake Police Department knows how to inform the public quickly of crimes and arrests in its city. In a press release dated today, the P.D. announced the arrest early yesterday morning of a 41-year-old man who reportedly gagged and attempted to choke his wife with a rope.

Robert J. Oswald, Jr. bonded out this morning. (I guess I won't ask where a good judge was yesterday who could have gone in for a special bond hearing.)

It's nice that the police department must have a policy of not naming a victim of a domestic battery. Guess it's not too hard to figure out that the victim must have been Mrs. Robert J. Oswald, Jr.

Good job, Crystal Lake P.D. Your prompt press release is appreciated.

Oswald is due in Judge Condon's court on July 9th.

Note: Anyone charged with a crime is presumed to be innocent. You know the rest.
