A University of Illinois at Chicago staffer has been placed on administrative leave after she brought a legally purchased handgun to work because she didn’t want to leave it at home while her house was being renovated, a UIC spokesman said.
A judge set bail at $25,000 Wednesday for Kathleen Loviscek, 55, according to the Cook County sheriff’s office. She is expected in court again on Feb. 19.
Loviscek, of Westmont, was charged with unlawful use of a weapon, a felony, said UIC spokesman Bill Burton.
“There was no apparent intent or threat,’’ Burton said. “It was never brandished nor was it loaded.’’
Wow. I’m speechless. So many words come to mind, but I can’t use any of them in a family friendly forum. I should probably brush up on the relevant law, because I have a feeling we are going to start having more if this kind of harassment, even after we get cc.
