Tenpas confrontational hot head say it ain't so... :lol: He's been an elected official forever despite his attitude problem.
-2003 Allegedly attacked a uniformed safety officer because he looked like "hispanic" someone from a hit and run he was reporting at the police station.
-July 1994 he was charged with battery at the Gurnee Cinema by two
teenagers he said were talking too loud. After a two-day trial, he was
found not guilty.
-April 1993, a North Chicago man said TenPas "bellybumped" him away from
then-Gov. Jim Edgar. No charges were ever filed.
-April 1983, then-Mayor Bill Morris accused TenPas of shoving him in
City Hall during an argument over document-copying. TenPas said Morris had
swore at him and grabbed his tie. TenPas took a lie detector test to back
up his version.
-April 1979, a Gurnee 16-year-old accused TenPas of chasing him on
Fourth Street, grabbing him in a wrestling hold and punching him about the
face. TenPas blamed a carload of teens which had flashed an obscene
gesture at him. No criminal charges were filed, but the teen filed a civil
lawsuit, which was settled out of court for $3,000.
-June 1967, a 20-year-old Zion man charged TenPas with assault and
battery following a scuffle outside Lincoln School, while TenPas was a
hall monitor. TenPas said it started when he told the man to turn down his
car stereo. Charges against TenPas were dismissed, while a charge of
disorderly conduct against the other man were upheld.
