Surely, out of 400 employees, somebody could figure out how to better than this...
Today's NIXLE alert at 4:24PM: "Public's assistance sought in identifying suspicious white male, 35-40 yoa, stemming from incident; Wonder Lake today."
Behind the NIXLE link is the story. A man in an old "white in color" (as if "in color" is necessary; "white" will do) van with a square front (like a Pontiac Sunfire (which isn't a van and which doesn't have a "square" front)) asked a female jogger for directions. He then drove away but came back. As he drove by, he reached out as if to touch the jogger.
He was wearing a white "in color" (do cops forget how to speak English?) t-shirt and had reddish-brown hair.
Anyone with information about the driver or the van is asked to contact MCSD or, get this, Crime Stoppers of McHenry County.
The NIXLE release doesn't claim that any crime was committed. OK, so why is Crime Stoppers involved? Crime Stoppers' boilerplate is tossed in about an "up to $1,000" reward. Of course, he has to be arrested and prosecuted.
What was the crime? Assault? Disorderly conduct? Did he alarm or disturb her? Was her peace breached? If so, say so.
After you click on the NIXLE link for the above information, then you have to click again to go to the Sheriff's Department website, go to press releases and click again to see his picture. Too many clicks. Most are not going to do that.
How nice. 4:40PM No press release. No photo. Keystone Cops are at it again.
At 10:53PM a composite sketch is posted in the press releases on the Sheriff's website at www.mchenrysheriff.org, but it is not in a format that can saved and re-published here. And it is not published with the online Northwest Herald news about this. So much for making it easy for the public to help.
Note: 5/25/12 7:50AM Thanks to the reader who sent me the uploadable image of the "suspicious" person.
