Vickie Podruzek
About this Article
A Downers Grove woman was sentenced Wednesday to eight years in prison for blasting her boyfriend with a shotgun -- a crime authorities said was sparked in part by a dirty dish. The shooting happened last February after 44-year-old Vickie Podruzek and her boyfriend quarreled about their relationship. Tensions mounted when the victim left out a dirty dish and then threw it when Podruzek put it on his pillow.Galleries by Category
