For the second time this month, Will County Sheriff’s deputies arrested a man and woman from Bourbonnais in regards to the closed Balmoral Park horse racing facility.
In a ness release, Will County officials said that they arrested 43-year-old Robert Willison and 32-year-old Megan Green, both of Bourbonnais, and charged them with criminal trespass and possession of burglary tools.
About 8 p.m. Saturday, Will County deputies responded to a call of a suspicious person at Balmoral Park on Dixie Highway in Crete, according to the release.
A witness told deputies that while watching surveillance video, they saw two people jumping over a fence, landing on the horse racing track property, according to the release.
During a search of the area, deputies found fresh footprints in the snow. They followed those tracks to a tree line where Willison and Green were found hiding under a tree. They possessed burglary tools (pry bar, wire cutters, grinder) around them.
