Man Pleads Guilty To Threatening State Senator With Gun
A man is receiving nine months of probation for threatening a state senator with a gun in Springfield. Michael Hoyle of New Berlin was arrested following the incident in March 2021. Police say Hoyle pulled a gun on Senator Elgie Sims of Chicago while the two were driving on Lawrence Avenue. Sims drove away and Hoyle chased him until the lawmaker found a police officer. Hoyle pleaded guilty last week to the charge of aggravated assault.
