Today's riddle: What are the two favorite words for a shark to hear? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Plainfield Family Feud As Man, 41, Grabs Pistol, Repeatedly Yells That He Put It In His Mouth: Police (patch.com) — A 41-year-old Plainfield man was released from Will County Jail after a judge denied prosecutors' request to detain him under the SAFE-T Act, following a domestic incident recorded on a relative's phone. Plainfield police say the video shows him intoxicated, yelling about putting a pistol in his mouth, and striking a family member before locking himself in a basement with a teen girl.
• This Illinois Homecoming Prank Got WAY Out of Hand (1440wrok.com) — Plainfield police recently confiscated about 650 rolls of toilet paper after getting numerous complaints about masked teens pelting homes near Plainfield North High School with TP, eggs, ketchup, and detergent pods. Officers had warned families they'd strictly enforce the rules, and the incident is prompting fresh debate over where homecoming pranks cross the line for Plainfield neighbors.
• Run Down at the Oaks 2026 - Results (Raw) (milesplit.com) — Plainfield Central runners turned in strong performances at the 2026 Run Down at the Oaks meet, with multiple Wildcats placing high across frosh/soph, varsity, and JV races. Local families can scan these full results to see every Plainfield Central athlete's time and place against regional competition from New Lenox, Frankfort, Oswego, Bolingbrook, and more.
