Godley man bound over to grand jury in drug case
Godley resident Gary C. Lehde, 25, bound over to a Grundy County grand jury after a Monday preliminary hearing on charges of possessing more than 30 grams but less than 500 grams of marijuana and possession of LSD. Co‑defendant Christopher E. Nielsen, 22, of Braidwood, faced charges of marijuana possession and a controlled substance containing codeine and phenobarbital. Police stopped Nielsen and Lehde after a railroad gate violation in Coal City. Lehde allegedly claimed the marijuana was his as drugs and pills were recovered and tested. The hearing produced conflicting testimony from officers about evidence handling, but Judge Robert Wren found probable cause.

In Springfield Illinois the St Nicholas hotel remains a political hub while the Abraham Lincoln and Leland fade to empty shells. The city shifts to newer motels on the outskirts as lawmakers, lobbyists, and officials retreat from downtown haunts once linked to Embezzlement scandals and bugging rumors.
