An Illinois man with several priors on his criminal record was arrested after he allegedly choked a woman when she asked him to bring her to land so she could get off his boat. 

On the evening of September 5, a 40-year-old woman accompanied a 41-year-old Ingleside man on his boat. They were on the water in an area close to Fox Lake in Columbia Bay. 

The pair have a history together, and the man recently finished probation for a domestic violence crime against the woman.

A Washington County resident has been accused of keeping her care-dependent sister trapped inside of a wooden cage in an unclean home and denying the woman access to food and medications.

53-year-old Loretta Lancaster lives with her sister, 51-year-old Leona Biser, who provides care for the woman. Lancaster has reportedly suffered from meningitis since she was young, and the woman requires a caregiver to assist with her daily needs.

On November 22, a special agent with Adult Protective Services placed a call asking for law enforcement to come to Lancaster’s home when they allegedly discovered that Lancaster lives inside of a locked handmade wooden cage.
