CRAWFORD CO., Ill.—Cooperation between law enforcement in the county and the police department in Palestine yesterday resulted in the apprehension of a man wanted for Aggravated Criminal Sexual Abuse.
Greg Payne, 35, of rural Hutsonville, was wanted on a warrant for the charge (which has apparently not been filed yet). It was reported that Payne was hiding out in a home in Palestine, and had “slipped out” ostensibly unnoticed; however, someone did notice, and notified Palestine police, who, working with county sheriff’s officials, used a K9 and tracked Payne to the trestles east of the White Bridge in Palestine.
