Lake County Sheriff's Department

A major crash last month has prompted the Highland Police Department to join the South Lake County Crash Reconstruction Team.

One woman is dead and two children were hurt in a head-on crash in Winfield on Tuesday. The Lake County Sheriff's Department says it happened around 4:30 p.m. in the 7000 block of East 117th.

The Lake County Sheriff's Department is investigating, after someone apparently started a fire in the lobby of the county jail Monday. The sheriff's department says that just before noon, a man entered the lobby, doused the area with some type of accelerant, lit it and ran.

The Lake County Sheriff's Department says it found more than 40 dogs, at least four of them dead, while investigating a suspected puppy mill operation. Police say they served warrants at a home in Crown Point and a barn near Rensselaer on Thursday, after getting an anonymous tip about a man buying unusually large amounts of dog food and animal medical supplies.

One person is dead, after a crash in Gary involving a Lake County Police officer.
