Lysakowski, 47, did not respond to calls and emails seeking comment.
He was arrested about 2 a.m. Jan. 18 after a traffic stop on Main Street near Gregory Street in Mount Prospect. An officer stopped Lysakowski s SUV after seeing the vehicle repeatedly weave between lanes and drive in a median lane, according to the police report. ....
