Brian Krause, long-time friend of Sheriff Keith Nygren, supervisor of the McHenry County Sheriff's Department vehicle servicing garage and the Sheriff's personal chauffeur for parades, has left the Department. A source told said Krause resigned. While that might be close to "retired", it's not the same.
Recent news reports indicated that Krause might be retiring, but his departure from MCSD this week may have been rather sudden.
Krause purchased Keith Nygren's house in Hebron, Ill. on December 3, 2010, for $250,000 in a neighborhood of $165,-180,000 homes. The transaction took place only two days after Nygren was sworn in for his new four-year term as sheriff and only a month after Nygren was re-elected. Krause had sold his Marengo home in November, so the Hebron house transaction must have been in the works.
One of the requirements to hold the office of sheriff is residency in McHenry County. Efforts to reach Krause to inquire about rumors that Nygren was living in Krause's home have been unsuccessful. Perhaps now he will be available. Should he confirm rumors that Nygren has refused to move out of Krause's new house, at least now Krause won't have to fear retaliation or loss of his job.
