A Center Township man on probation for his role in a Lake County puppy mill operation raided in 2017 will be facing a probation revocation hearing Tuesday in the wake of the May 25 confiscation of 39 dogs from a new alleged puppy mill operation in Jasper County.
GARY â The Lake County sheriff is once again putting a GPS monitoring company on blast for what he says was a delay in notifying police of a detainee s escape.
The detainee, Aaron Jacob Collins, 26, was under home confinement for a drug possession charge and allowed the battery on his ankle bracelet to die, Sheriff Oscar Martinez Jr. said. ICU Monitoring notified the Lake County Sheriffâs Department on Sunday that Collins was at large.
That notification, Martinez said, came five days after Collins failed to respond to the ICU s inquiries about his whereabouts.Â
Collins is described as a white male who weighs 151 pounds and has brown hair and hazel eyes. ICU Monitoring told the sheriff s department that it was believed Collins was traveling to Indianapolis, his hometown.
