Hammond man charged with felony stalking of ex-girlfriend


HAMMOND | A Hammond man was charged with felony stalking Wednesday after he was caught hiding outside the home of a former girlfriend with a loaded handgun, police said.

Michael Crenshaw, 23, was arrested late Monday after allegedly chasing the woman in his car as she drove across town and following her to the 5600 block of Sohl Avenue, according to the Lake County prosecutor's office.

The arrest ends seven months of stalking and abusive behavior, the 23-year-old woman said Monday.

They had been together for nine years, she said, but she called it quits in February as Crenshaw's increasingly erratic and domineering actions led her to fear for the safety of their 1-year-old child.

Less than two months later, the stalking began, she said, and continued even as she moved in an effort to get away.

No bond had been set late Wednesday for Crenshaw, who was held in the Lake County Jail and faces six to 20 years in prison if convicted on the Class B felony count.

Don't worry. This is LC. He'll plead it out and be back to finish the job in a few months.

Man accused of striking baby

Neglect and battery charges have been filed in Lake Superior Court against a Hammond man charged with striking a 1-year-old because the baby was crying.

Reginald T. Ruffin, 32, of the 4000 block of Towle Avenue, was arrested after police were called at about 8 p.m. Monday to the residence. Ruffin’s girlfriend told police she, Ruffin, and her three children were in the process of moving in and she was assembling a crib in one bedroom while her 5-year-old and 1-year-old sons were in their bedroom playing. When she checked on the children, she noticed the toddler’s face was swollen and had a red, horseshoe-shaped mark on his left cheek. The 5-year-old told her that Ruffin hit him in the face with his belt. The boy told police Ruffin struck the baby because he was crying.

Ruffin told police he disciplined the child for crying by “smacking” the baby’s hand twice and that he had his folded belt in his other hand, the probable cause affidavit states

The charges are punishable by a maximum eight-year sentence.

Ruffin is free on $3,000 cash bond.

Charges filed in stabbing incident

Aggravated battery and battery charges have been filed in Lake Superior Court against a Hammond man charged with stabbing another man during an altercation last week.

Emilio Lewis Figueroa, 24, of the 1700 block of 170th Street, is charged with stabbing Christopher Tuttle in the 4800 block of Ash Avenue. Tuttle told police at about 11:45 p.m. Nov. 21, he was visiting his neighbor’s apartment, as was Figueroa. After some time, Tuttle and Figueroa got into a disagreement that turned physical. Figueroa threatened to get his “brothers” and return, and about 30 minutes later, he came back to the apartment with other alleged gang members and tried to get inside. During a struggle, Tuttle was stabbed in the side. He was transported to St. Margaret Mercy Hospital in Hammond and then to Christ Advocate Hospital in Oak Lawn, Ill., for treatment of internal bleeding and a punctured kidney from multiple stab wounds.

The charges are punishable by a maximum 20-year sentence.

Hammond dad charged with murdering 10-year-old son

Post-Tribune Staff report November 30, 2011 1:07PM
A murder charge has been filed in Lake Superior Court against a Hammond man accused of killing his 10-year-old son.

Jason Lee DeGroot Sr., 32, is charged in the death of Jason DeGroot Jr., whose lifeless body was found at about 5 p.m. Nov. 15 by a roommate. The boy had been dead for 36 to 48 hours before Dr. Young Kim, a forensic pathologist with the Lake County coroner’s office, conducted the autopsy, the probable cause affidavit states. Jason DeGroot Jr., was shot in the back. The gunshot lacerated his heart.

The roommate told police at about 5:30 a.m. Nov. 15 she opened DeGroot Sr.’s bedroom door, saw him and his son in bed and thought they were both sleeping. Both of them were lying on their backs with the covers pulled up to their lips.

The roommate, a childhood friend of DeGroot Sr., went to work, called home at about 4:30 p.m., and learned DeGroot Sr., hadn’t gone to work and the boy hadn’t gone to school. When she got home about 30 minutes later, she found both of them in bed with a lot of blood around them and on the bed.

Police found a .38-caliber handgun in the dresser drawer in the bedroom, 13 inches from the bed on the side where DeGroot Sr., was lying. The house was locked when the roommate returned home.

DeGroot Sr., who sustained a gunshot wound to the chest, told police he didn’t know and couldn’t remember who shot him. The last thing he remembered was going to bed at about 8:30 p.m. Nov. 14. His son came to his bed and wanted to sleep with him, court records state.

While he was being treated at St. Margaret Mercy Hospital in Hammond, police took blood swabs from the bottom of the father’s feet. Police found what appeared to be a partial adult footprint in blood on the hardwood floor of the bedroom where the boy’s body was found.

Behind the headboard, police found an obituary for Brandy DeGroot, Jason DeGroot’s wife, that appeared to have blood on it. She died in 2010.

DeGroot Sr., was transferred to Loyola Medical Center in Chicago for further treatment.

The case is assigned to the courtroom of Judge Diane Ross Boswell.

Hammond Man admits to sex with 12-year-old

A prison sentence of six to 20 years awaits a Hammond man who admitted in Lake Superior Court Tuesday that he molested a 12-year-old girl.

Jaime Luis Diaz, 41, of the 3500 block of 173rd Street, admitted he had sexual intercourse with the girl, who was 12 at the time. The crime occurred between Jan. 6 and Jan. 22 at his apartment, where his daughter and her friend, the victim, were spending the night.

Diaz’s plea agreement, which Judge Diane Ross Boswell took under advisement, calls for defense attorney Steve Haddad and deputy prosecutor Judith Massa to argue an appropriate sentence, which will be served in prison and not an alternative program such as work release. Boswell scheduled a Jan. 20 sentencing hearing.

The plea agreement calls for dismissal of a child molesting charge punishable by a 20- to 50-year sentence.

Hammond man to plead guilty to possessing child porn

By Marisa Kwiatkowski marisa.kwiatkowski@nwi.com, (219) 662-5333 | Posted: Tuesday, January 3, 2012 5:00 pm

HAMMOND | A Hammond man agreed Tuesday to plead guilty to possessing child pornography, federal court records state.

Hugh Payne, 64, was charged last year after his adult daughter reported him. She said told authorities she believed her father's interest in watching porn contributed to his failed marriage.

Payne's daughter allegedly found disturbing videos of children playing at a church in which the person operating the camera had zoomed in on the children's crotches. The video appeared to have been taped from Payne's bedroom window, the woman told police.

She said she confronted him about watching it on her computer and found stacks of DVDs with footage of children performing sexual acts on other children and adults.

Hammond police executed a search warrant in March and recovered about 50 DVDs containing pornography, including some with sex involving animals. Five DVDs were recovered containing child pornography in about 44 scenes — more than 16 1/2 hours of footage.

In return for Payne's guilty plea, federal prosecutors will agree to recommend leniency at his sentencing, according to the plea agreement.

Payne will have to register as a sex offender, pay restitution to victims and cooperate with the government's investigation, records state. He also will agree to forfeit the computer and equipment officers seized during the investigation.

Hammond man given 15-year term for molesting 4-year-old


A Hammond man on Monday was sentenced to 15 years in prison for molesting a child during visits to the man's apartment.

Julio Delgado, 32, in April admitted to molesting the boy between January and May 2010.

Initially facing a maximum 50-year sentence in the incidents, Delgado accepted a plea deal in which he was allowed to plead guilty but mentally ill to a lesser count.

He had faced a maximum 20-year sentence before sentencing was argued Monday before Lake Criminal Court Judge Salvador Vasquez.

Former Hammond pastor signs plea in federal child sex case
Image

HAMMOND | A local megachurch's former leader signed a plea agreement in federal court Tuesday admitting he took a minor across state lines with the intent to engage in sexual activity, according to the U.S. attorney's office.

Jack Schaap signed the agreement the same day prosecutors presented a criminal complaint charging him with interstate transportation of a minor with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity, according to a news release from the U.S. attorney's office. The complaint had not yet been made public in the online docket late Tuesday.

Schaap, 54, of Dyer, was dismissed from his leadership role at First Baptist Church in Hammond in late July after telling church officials about an explicit relationship with a young girl.

A news release the church issued in late July stated Schaap committed "a sin that has caused him to forfeit his right to be our pastor."

The FBI then began looking into the relationship between Schaap and a girl, who was 17 when the allegations surfaced.

Federal agents investigated whether Schaap transported the female church member across state lines for illegal sexual activity and whether she was below the federal age of consent, which is 18 years old.

Schaap is scheduled for an initial appearance in court at 3 p.m. today. Magistrate Judge Paul Cherry will oversee the court proceedings.

First Baptist Church officials declined to comment.
