Frankfort Police Seek Court Order to Force Testimony

The former girlfriend of police officer Donald Walsh refuses to discuss the incident that led to his battery arrest in Mokena last summer.

Frankfort police are seeking a court order to force a Mokena woman to tell the Frankfort Board of Fire and Police Commissioners how her ex-boyfriend, Frankfort police officer Donald Walsh, hit, head-butted and choked her last summer, according to a report from WLS Radio.

Anna - please keep us updated on this. I knew Walsh a handful of years ago. And unfortunately, I'm not surprised by this at all. I just wish it didn't have to happen. To say he has a temper would be putting it mildly.   more ›

Deobrah Grossheider was charged with driving under the influence of drugs after her car jumped the curb on her way home from the fast-food joint. That didn't stop her from eating her burger while an officer questioned her, police said.

Call it an appetite for near-destruction. A Mokena woman who was stopped for almost hitting a telephone pole told police she drove to White Castle despite having taken a muscle relaxer and a painkiller beforehand because she was hungry and no one else in her house was awake. Deborah L. Grossheider, 57, of the 19900 block of Anna Street, was charged with driving under the influence of drugs, improper lane use and driving off the roadway after an incident in the 10800 block of West La Porte Road, according to a Mokena Police report.
