The Highland Park police say they reported the knife incident to IL St police and confiscated 16 knives. No signed complaint, no action taken. No red flag list.
“Police on Tuesday revealed they’d had two prior interactions with Robert Crimo, the suspect in the Highland Park Fourth of July parade shooting, before his arrest.
In April 2019, an individual called the authorities to report that Crimo had attempted suicide, officials said at a news conference. The matter was handled by mental health workers, not the police.
Another family member said Crimo had a collection of knives and said he “was going to kill everyone,” Sgt. Christopher Covelli of the Lake County Major Crimes Task Force also told reporters. They removed the weapons from his possession and notified the Illinois State Police about the incident, he said.
At the time, they took a dagger, knives, and a sword. However, there was “no probable cause for arrest,” Covelli stated, and no witnesses signed complaints against Crimo.”
Crimo would have been 15? His father said he was a mental facility inpatient when he was 16. And then on meds which father said he had recently stopped using. (previously mentioned).
Most recently he was living with father and uncle while mother lived in previous family home. We will hear more details as time goes on
Known to LE:
1) Possible suicide threat/attempt?
