Week delay in releasing Lamb arrest - why?

The Northwest Herald is reporting that Shane Lamb, 28, was arrested on two misdemeanor charges for an occurrence on November 4. The paper said, "According to the criminal complaint, he punched two men repeatedly in the face and head."

Lamb had testified in the trial of Mario Casciaro earlier this year after being granted immunity and, according to the paper, is on parole involving a six-year sentence in a drug case.

That's it. That's all?

From Circuit Court records, Lamb was charged with two counts of misdemeanor battery. Charges were filed on November 5 by the McHenry County Sheriff's Department, meaning the offense occurred in the County, not in a municipality of the County.

There is no media release on the Sheriff's Department website. Why not? Was everybody on vacation last week?

It looks like Lamb's bond was $1,500 and that he posted 10% ($150) to be released. He is not listed as now in custody at the Jail.

The newspaper article contained no other details. The time and location of arrests were not given. The victims or other combatants were not named.

All in all, information was quite scarce for the report being published a full week after the arrest. There should be a Complaint on file for this case (12CM002386) at the courthouse, and it should include the names of other parties involved.
