About this Article

State Sen. Suzi Schmidt was found not guilty of walking onto her neighbor’s land and puncturing a bag of chicken feed during a dispute, Lake County Judge George Strickland ruled Wednesday. However, a civil order of protection against her remains for now. “I’m happy this part is over, though it’s sad that it had to turn out this way,” she said.
