‘Good thing I have plenty': Belleville teen's Halloween gesture wins hearts online

Toni Beverly was enjoying a quiet night at home with her grandson, Sammy Comstock, when she got a call from Jeff Heidorn, the behavioral interventionist at Belleville East High School. He told her video of Sammy had turned up on Metro East Crime, a popular Facebook page that shares links to local crime news and often posts humorous narratives of police scanner broadcasts. “Metro East Crime? I thought, ‘Oh, no, what could he have done?’” Beverly said. “I was sitting with Sammy, and we were asking what kind of misunderstanding could have landed him in trouble.” Heidorn assured them that, unlike most of what shows up on the Facebook page, the news was all good . A home security camera had captured 17-year-old Sammy walking up to Spencer Tribout’s front porch on Halloween night , only to find a table with an empty candy bin. “Good thing I have plenty,” Sammy could be heard saying as he refilled the depleted bin of treats from his own bag of goodies. He included his full-size Snickers bars. The video received more than 1,400 views on Facebook, far and away the most of any post on Metro East Crime in recent weeks, outpacing

Hodges Family Sues Belleville Township High School District 201 Over September 23 Van Crash

BELLEVILLE, Ill. — Wednesday, the family of G'Mauri Hodges filed an 18-count federal lawsuit against the Board of Education of Belleville Township High School District 201 over the September 23, 2026 van crash in which G'Mauri was severely injured. The attorneys at JJ Legal who represent the Hodges family released the following statement: "Today, the Hodges family took the first step toward holding Belleville Township High School District 201 accountable. The 18-count complaint the family has filed today lays out failure after failure by the District. Tragically disappointing. Keeping children safe is a school's most basic responsibility. This tragedy was entirely avoidable." The complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Illinois (Case No. 3.26-cv-01519), alleges: No bids, no contract, no safety review. The District never sought bids or signed a written contract with MVP Transportation, a non-emergency medical transportation company, yet paid it $385,655.80 starting in 2022. In emails, District staff called MVP's $40-per-day rate "so cheap" and "very cheap." An unpermitted driver with federal drug-trafficking convictions. The Illinois Secretary of State has confirmed that MVP was not registered as a school bus employer and that the driver had no school bus permit. The complaint

Blackburn Annexation Passes Maryville Village Board

The Maryville Village Board meeting opened at 6pm on November 4 with Trustee Rod Schmidt absent. The meeting began with public comments. Page Durham, a resident of Collinsville, was the first to speak, and she began by handing the board an informational flier. She came representing the Madison County Farm Bureau, a non profit representing 1,300 land owners and farmers within the county. Durham spoke on behalf of the annexation of the Regal property, which the Farm Bureau opposes for various reasons stated on her handout. The annexation itself is for the Blackburn Manor subdivision and the surrounding area. She acknowledged the annexation is working within state limits, but the bureau would like the board to adopt an agricultural zoning area for the property. Their intention is to keep farmland as farmland. Allowing the farmers to use that land as they always have. She then offered her services to the board and the staff in the creation of said agricultural zone. Dwayne Regal spoke next. His property is the one in question regarding the annexation. He isn't ready to hook up to city water yet, and he currently prefers his well water. Regal wanted to know if the annexation will
