Woman damages Island Lake police station lobby

Island Lake police have identified a woman who damaged the lobby at the station early Tuesday for an unknown reason.

The department had sought the public’s help in identifying her and received many tips, it said in an update on Facebook. It said it would post another update once an arrest was made.

A short video posted by the department on Facebook shows a woman entering the lobby at 3:41 a.m. She plops down on a bench and makes a lewd gesture at the camera, flips the hood of her jacket over her head and makes a short “Ha, ha” noise before standing up.

The woman opens and slams shut the door of a collection bin and then goes to the other side of the narrow lobby and begins flinging pamphlets from their holders over her head. She then pulls a bulletin board off the wall and rips down more posted items before leaving, the video shows.
