I’m curious if the Skokie PD has record of the parent showing up with the gun since Horton lived in 60203?

Dear requester,

A search of [REDACED ADDRESS] for all incidents from JAN2020-DEC2022, as well as a search on Mr. Horton’s name records for involvements or incidents, resulted in no arrests or incident reports found.

Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.

Thank you,

Philip Wasserburg

I wonder what would happen if you foia’d the addresses of his business associates from that one contracts article, or perhaps his other properties as it’s my understanding he is also a real estate magnate. Kinda like Dewey’s principles 3 principles ago who received a rather large ppp loan for a travel company. I never understood how these leaders of schools and children had So many other jobs that pay average Americans household salary amounts . My hunch is somebody showed up with a gun about some non-school thing at one of those locations -this is just a hypothesis- and that’s what he’s referring to. That, or he’s just a blatant liar

Also keep in mind if this incident did happen and the parent got the case dismissed (and then expunged )the local police department would’ve had to destroy the arrest record including police report but I don’t see how this incident would’ve ended in a dismissal. I also wonder if the Illinois state police or fbi would have a record local officials dont - again just a hypothesis .

The only law statue I could find is IL false claims act which is civil not criminal but here’s a kind of similar DOJ IL case where far less money was used
