Court records indicate the following dates for scheduled hearings in the matter of a request for appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate Sheriff Keith Nygren. Keep in mind that this case (10MR000011) has now been dragging for over two years; it was filed in January 2010.
Wednesday, April 11, 2012, 1:30PM. Evidentiary hearing. This is the one where McHenry County State's Attorney Lou Bianchi may appear to testify as to whether he can (or will) investigate and, if warranted, prosecute Nygren.
Wednesday, April 25, 2012, 10:00AM, hearing for sanctions motions.
"Sheriff Nygren is engaged in criminal activity." So says the Fourth Amended Petition, filed February 28, 2011.
In summary, it states that Nygren created a "seven star (sic) logo ('LOGO')" in 2004 for his political campaign and then used it in his official capacity as Sheriff, ordering or allowing its use throughout the McHenry County Sheriff's Department.
Paragraph 43 reads, "Mr. Nygren, as alleged, committed the theft of labor and services when he used and allowed to be used, McHenry County property and labor, without consent, to affix his LOGO to the Internal Wall, stationary (sic) and Official Vehicles, to promote is political campaign."
These next two hearings should be very, very interesting. Will there be more stalling?
You never know who is interested…
