Lake Zurich village Trustee Jim Beaudoin faces domestic violence charges stemming from an altercation at his home early Saturday morning, authorities said Tuesday.
Lake Zurich Police Chief Steve Husak said a 9-1-1 call was placed from Beaudoin s home at 12:52 a.m. reporting an ongoing domestic situation. When officers arrived, they were able to bring Beaudoin into custody without incident, Husak said.
Beaudoin, 47, is charged with one count of domestic battery causing bodily harm and one count of domestic battery involving physical contact. Both are misdemeanors punishable by up to a year in jail, if he s convicted.
âWe are over the moon,â said Maas, whose group is the local coordinator of the day devoted to acts of kindness around the world.
For the retired sisters, itâs a godsend, Maas said. Their wish list includes some fairly costly items that older people need every day.
The average donation on Giving Tuesday was $114, and more than 24,000 donations were made. People who were first-time donors to their selected nonprofits accounted for 32% of those who gave.
Maas said she hadnât yet run the statistics on which nonprofits received the most love.
But, she said, âwe know that (homeless) shelters and the Food Bank for the Heartland got a lot of support,â which wasnât surprising amid a pandemic.
