A New Lenox man held in the county jail for two weeks on a 35-year-old murder charge was set free.
A New Lenox widower held 13 days on a murder warrant for a different man said he feared he would be locked up for the rest of his life. "I panicked," said Pedro Hernandez, a 67-year-old father of four who was arrested March 14 in connection with a 1978 murder. "I know for this crime they can send you away for life," he said. Hernandez was taken into custody by the New Lenox police following a traffic accident.

Joliet police initially stopped Eric Gates because his passenger had an outstanding warrant, but quickly discovered they'd nabbed a much larger fish, Cmdr. Rich Demick said.
You can drive away or run away but it's unlikely you'll t get away, as two misguided criminal suspects discovered Thursday. Eric L. Gates, 33, of Chicago, was pulled over by police at about 8:15 p.m. when an officer observed the passenger in Gate's car and determined she was wanted on an outstanding arrest warrant, Joliet Police Cmdr. Rich Demick said. Gates stopped momentarily in the 900 block of Jefferson Street but when his passenger, Gailyn L. Davis, hopped out of the car and took off on foot, Gates decided to hit the gas and flee, Demick said. Neither got very far. Davis, 25, who lists addresses of 618 Briggs St. and 1118 Parkwood Drive, both in Joliet, was apprehended just a few yards away and Gates made it to Jefferson and William …

Bottom line this man should've never been arrested for murder and held on a murder charge. He was arrested because his name is Pedro Hernandez, the date of birth didn't even match. Sorry but you can't just go around arresting people because they have the same name as a person who murdered someone. It appears to me like State and the police took their sweet time with their investigation and … more ›
