• "A judge has issued a $1.5 million arrest warrant for a Bartlett man who failed to appear in McHenry County court Tuesday on charges of allegedly bilking an elderly Huntley woman out of more than $350,000. Charles Landwer, 44, faces charges of theft, theft by deception, financial exploitation of an elderly person and fraud, all charges to which he has pleaded not guilty.
