• Plainfield police say confiscated toilet paper being donated; 'Sometimes you just have to roll with it' (shawlocal.com) — Plainfield police and Plainfield North High School students turned a messy homecoming toilet-paper prank into a big donation to the Plainfield Area Interfaith Food Pantry, delivering hundreds of confiscated rolls. Officers are still warning students that property damage and dangerous behavior won't be tolerated, even during celebrations, and are urging everyone to think before they act at future events.
   

• Dixon cannabis dispensary now serves medical patients (shawlocal.com) — Medical cannabis patients in Plainfield will soon have another local option as Terrabis expands medical sales to its Illinois locations, including a Plainfield shop.
