New Chicago police chief accused of stealing seized guns and steroids

New Chicago Police Chief Earl D. Mayo, 45, is charged with seven felonies, including theft and official misconduct, after prosecutors say he stole firearms seized in investigations and sold them to a Hobart pawn shop, while also possessing anabolic steroids; Tanika Borders is charged with assisting Mayo. Authorities traced a Ruger 9mm from an ongoing case to the pawn shop, and Mayo allegedly asked a fellow officer to buy back the gun and retrieve suppressors. Borders allegedly tried to remove Mayo’s steroids and purchase back a firearm. Mayo, arrested in Clark County, Ohio, remains jailed as Lake County prosecutors pursue return; Lake County has since taken over policing of New Chicago. He had been appointed chief in January 2023 and is on administrative leave; his father is Indiana State Police Major Jerry Williams.

Three-vote win for Deery in Indiana District 23 sparks potential recount

Indiana State Senator Spencer Deery won the District 23 Republican primary by three votes over Paula Copenhaver, a margin that could trigger a formal recount if requested. Provisional ballots across several counties, including two disqualified in Tippecanoe, helped shape the outcome, with Parke County’s provisional tally placing Deery ahead by three. There are no automatic recounts; a recount would be initiated by a candidate or party chair and conducted by the state recount commission, potentially delaying final certification beyond May 15. The commission has appointed a recount director, and Secretary of State Morales chairs the panel amid controversy over his ties to Turning Point USA and redistricting. Deery thanked supporters and urged healing, while Copenhaver had not commented at press time.
