Nygren keeping low profile in Pyle case

Where is McHenry County's top cop when it comes to keeping the public informed regarding the case of one of his deputies, who was arrested this month on ten counts of Predatory Criminal Sexual Assault (child under 13)?

A lot of people thought that Nygren was enjoying snow country in Minocqua.

However, the January-February 2012 issue of the McHenry County Sheriff's Office Newsletter places Nygren in his office on January 9th, when he swore in former Woodstock PD Det.Sgt. Kurt Rosenquist as the newest court security officer.

On Page 5 there are two photographs of Nygren and Rosenquist in Nygren's office. In one of them they are reading the scripts for the swearing-in ceremony. Whatever happened to "Repeat after me. I, (state your name), do solemnly swear ... "

Content in the newsletter near the photographs reads, "The Sheriff's Department conducted swearing-in ceremonies for two new deputies and one new Court Security Officer.
"Our new Deputies, Cody Smith and Ed Zerman, were sworn in on Dec. 19, 2011.
"Kurt Rosenquist, (sic) became our newest member in Court Security on Jan. 9, 2011 (sic)."

I suspect that the writer meant that Kurt became a Court Security Officer on Jan. 9, 2012.

Actually, the wording does not state that Kurt was sworn in on Jan. 9. He could have been sworn in on another date, with his effective date of hiring as Jan. 9.

So, why isn't Sheriff Keith Nygren out in front on behalf of the public on the Pyle matter? It's not good enough to say that "It's a State Police matter." Pyle was in the in-crowd at the sheriff's department. Everything that Pyle touched should go under the microscope.

And why hasn't Nygren called a Special Meeting of the Merit Commission? Isn't he obligated to do so, when a suspension is very likely to last longer than 30 days? What's he waiting for? Not talking about it is not going to make it go away!

Gus -

You've made so many good points as regards this issue.

In the end, you're correct - "where's Nygren"?

Oh - that's right, he's not yet engaged in his next holy re-electon almost 2 years from now!

McHenry County voters? FORGET - FORGET - FORGET!!!!

He's quite tall - he's quite impressive when "muscling in" on a set of debates he had otherwise ignored and not registered for in advance.

Face it - you found him so attractive, yet the fact still remains: "He's not there!"

Well, well Gus! It seems you were posting bogus info on your blog when you kept stating he was out of state! How funny is that? A quote from you “A lot of people thought that Nygren was enjoying snow country in Minocqua”. Why, because you were posting it here on your blog that he was when this whole thing started, and I can put your previous post up for you if you would like? Maybe you should report true facts and not what you think because you want to smear the Sheriff’s Office. Its people like you who are the problem when it comes to situations and the proven BOGUS information you put out because you are scorned!! And you wonder why you have a problem getting information from them! You don’t release the truth. You put up hearsay and your opinions to clout the true story. Also what part of the STATE POLICE ARE HANDLING THIS CASE don’t you get!!!!! Why do you think all questions are being referred to them? Nygren has nothing to do with it at this point! I think it’s smart of him to stay clear of it. Justice will prevail! Stop trying to be something you’re not Gus.
