An Observant Community Averted A Possible Accident

The cooperation of community members in unincorporated McHenry resulted in McHenry County Sheriff's Deputies being able to locate three young men who decided to remove stop and speed limit signs from the intersection of Eastwood Lane and Manor Road.

At 3:11 a.m. Wednesday, members of the McHenry County Sheriff's Office Patrol Division were notified of individuals stealing street signs. The deputies notified the McHenry Township Road District and the signs were replaced. Deputies located three suspects who were taken into custody, including Kristopher J. Lomax, 23, of 1301 Eastwood Lane; David M. Mikos, 22, 2312 Glenwood Lane, McHenry, and Nathan C. Borter, 23, 809 S. Carol Avenue, McHenry. All three were charged with two counts of theft, and reckless conduct. They were transported to the McHenry County Correctional facility.
