Sex Offenders Charged After Failing To Register
COLLINSVILLE - Two local sex offenders have been charged by Collinsville police for unlawful failure to register. Roy L. Wright, 59, of the 2300 block of Adams Avenue in Dupo, and Austin L. Cates, 30, of the 300 block of Leila St. in Collinsville, were both charged with unlawful failure to register as a sex offender. The charges against both individuals indicate they have both since moved but failed to register under their new addresses. While Wright’s last known address is listed in Dupo, the charge against him states he failed to register within three days of establishing a residence in Collinsville. He had previously been convicted of the same charge in a 2012 Madison County case in which he used the alias “Tony Malone.” The charge against Cates states he has since moved from his Leila Street address. While his charge was classified as a Class 3 felony, the charge against Wright was a Class 2 felony, as this was Wright’s second or subsequent such offense.

Illinois' Winter Weather Rule in Effect Dec. 1
CHICAGO – The Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) is reminding consumers that Illinois’ winter weather rule will take effect from December 1 – March 31. The winter weather rule prohibits utilities from disconnecting eligible customers who use electric or gas as their primary source of home heating. “Frigid winters are a given in Illinois. The state’s winter weather rule offers peace-of-mind for individuals and families who might otherwise be struggling to stay warm during the coldest months of the year,” said ICC Chairman Doug Scott . To protect Illinoisans during dangerous cold, Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) and Percentage of Income Payment Plan (PIPP) participants; electric space heating customers; and military personnel and veterans cannot be disconnected if they fall behind on their utility bills.
