About this Article

An Inverness man was arrested early Sunday after he broke into a Palatine retirement home, ripped a television off the wall and used it to bust out a window on a car parked outside, police said. When officers apprehended Leonardo Adames, the 33-year-old suspect claimed his friends left him at the facility after a night of clubbing and that he didn't remember anything else, Cmdr. Kurt Schroeder said Monday.
