Good morning, Normal.
🚨 Crime
A Normal man who fled a traffic stop last month was arrested and now faces multiple gun charges—his actions led to the postponement of a live music event at the Castle Theatre.
A 16-year-old from Normal was sentenced to 20 years in prison for shooting another teen on Bloomington’s west side on February 8—he pleaded guilty to aggravated battery after being transferred from juvenile to adult court with five charges dropped—McLean County Judge William Yoder issued the sentence.
🎭 Culture
The McLean County Museum of History has received a national award for its asbestos exhibit.
🎓 Education
Five classrooms at Heartland Community College received world map murals printed on their walls with a special printer that uses eco-friendly ink as part of a pilot program to bring global learning to students.
The project was funded by an $11,156 Library Arts Social Sciences Innovation Grant+ the college's global education committee led the effort.
