An Illinois man is charged with a hate crime for allegedly
vandalizing a bakery about an hour outside of Chicago, and a
drag show planned at the damaged business has been canceled.
The local police department, meanwhile, has been fielding
complaints for weeks about advertisements saying children were
welcome at the drag performance, but investigators insisted that
no nudity or sexually explicit content was expected during the
show. Protests and counter-protests were planned.
Joseph I. Collins, 24, of Alsip, Illinois, is charged with two
felony counts of a hate crime and criminal damage to property in
connection to an incident that happened just after midnight
Saturday at the UpRising Bakery and Café located in the 2100
block of W. Algonquin Road in Lake in the Hills, Illinois.
At approximately 12:04 a.m., Lake in the Hills officers were
dispatched to the bakery and notified of an "in progress damage
to property and the suspect had fled on foot," according to a
news release.
"An Algonquin police sergeant had seen the suspect leave the
scene and was instrumental in this incident," Lake in the Hills
Police Department said. About a minute later, Lake in the Hills
officers, along with the Algonquin police sergeant, took the
suspect into custody and identified him as Collins.
The UpRising Bakery and Café "sustained significant damage early
this morning," Lake in the Hills police said. "Officers found
broken windows along with hateful messages spray-painted on the
building. Due to this act, the event planned for this evening,
has been canceled per the wishes of the bakery owner."
Photos shared on social media showed smashed windows and spray-
painted messages, including "Groomers," "F**s rape kids," and
"Christ is king."
"The safety and Constitutional rights of everyone are always the
Lake in the Hills Police Department’s priority," according to
the police news release. "The Police Department is disheartened
this happened in our Village, remain steadfast in our commitment
to public safety and have zero tolerance to crimes against all
members of our community."
Collins was first transported to the Lake in the Hills Police
Department, then to the McHenry County Correctional facility for
his bond hearing, police said. Bond was set at $10,000, with the
ability to post 10% of that amount. Collins was still in custody
at the time the press release was published Saturday.
This comes after Lake in the Hills police said it had been
receiving messages since July 6 from concerned citizens
regarding a drag show performance to be hosted at UpRising
Bakery and Café on July 23.
"Residents expressed their concerns, citing an advertisement
regarding children being allowed to attend the event," the
police department said in a July 19 news release. "Since being
notified of the event, the Police Department, along with Lake in
the Hills Community Development Department, contacted the
business owner and have been in regular communication regarding
the event."
"The Police Department and Community Development Department have
investigated the reported concerns," police said. "Subsequently,
no violations of the Village of Lake in the Hills Municipal code
were found, and no nudity or sexually explicit content is
reported to be part of the scheduled performance."
Police said the bakery owner has reported receiving in-person
and online threats to the business since posting the
advertisement for the drag show event. And police were aware of
scheduled protests and counter-protests reportedly planned to
occur the day of the event.
