In July 2022, former Waukegan 4th Ward Alderman Roudell Kirkwood was charged with dozens of felonies for forgery, wire fraud, and official misconduct. According to the Lake County News-Sun, these crimes were committed in connection with false statements he made on both video gaming and liquor license applications.
Even so, Kirkwood ran for re-election but lost to Victor Felix in the Democratic Party primary.

Take a look at the latest from the Lake County Clerk of the Circuit Court below. Waukegan Watch will continue to monitor this case as it progresses.
