Snow gets new court date
A Huntley Unit District 158 board member who is seeking re-election has been granted a new court date for alleged traffic offenses. Larry Snow's Feb. 24 court date was continued to April 28, three weeks after the April 7 election. After an accident in Algonquin last month, Snow was cited for driving without valid insurance and failure to yield. Snow, who is still recovering from his injuries, is running against current board member Mike Skala for a 2-year seat on the school board.
Trial set in case linked to teen's disappearance
A judge Wednesday scheduled an April 27 jury trial date for a McHenry man charged with lying under oath about his knowledge of the 2002 disappearance, and suspected murder, of a Johnsburg teen. Mario Casciaro, 25, faces eight counts of perjury alleging he gave false testimony to a grand jury investigating the disappearance of Brian Carrick. The 17-year-old vanished Dec. 20, 2002, after working a shift at a grocery store where Casciaro was his supervisor. Among the allegations against Casciaro are that he lied when he told the grand jury he did not know where Carrick's body was dumped.
