A former employee of the Lake County coroner s office faces felony charges after being accused of secretly video recording a grieving family in July 2018.
Dana Dingman, 36, of Grayslake is charged with two counts of using an eavesdropping device without consent, class 4 felonies, and one count of official misconduct, a class 3 felony.
Coroner Jennifer Banek said Wednesday that in April someone in her administration found a video on an employee s county-owned laptop that depicted Dingman telling a person that a family member had died. According to Banek, the video appeared to have been taken from Dingman s cellphone in July 2018 and was made without the consent of the person Dingman was speaking to.
