The police chief of Roanoke is on paid administrative leave after being arrested Thursday night on a domestic violence charge.
Chief Mike Brockway was taken into custody and spent some time in the Woodford County jail before he was released.

Woodford County State's Attorney Mike Stroh said no charges were being filed against Brockway.
However, the Roanoke Village Board placed Brockway on administrative leave until trustees can meet next week.
During this Memorial Day and Roanoke Festival weekend, Village President Bob Huschen said police protection was being provided by the Woodford County Sheriff's office.

Wow you people are pathetic, insulting Colleen because her opinion is not the same as your own. So what if she likes Brockaway or the police deparment and to suggest an affair or anything similar is ridiculus. Then again many of us still haven't left high school and just love to pick on other people.

Colleen maybe you should seek some prof. help..sounds like you have a anger issue yourself..or is it that you were shunned at the village board caucus... if your not sleeping w/ Brockway are you in love w/ him.. you forgot to tell everyone your so against the new board because you got 17 votes out of 400 votes for village trustee. I think someone has issues Its nutjobs like you who make a mockery of are nice quiet village.

wasn't this the same cop that had to call the woodford county cops because of someone walking around his property? Sounds like a Barney of a cop to me!!

And if anyone would like to feel free to contact me and tell me what they really think and is very genuinely wanting to make a difference. I will do all that I can to help you make that stand. You can contact me at colleen.shaver@yahoo.com Thank you to all.

Sunday, May 31 at 3:59 PM Colleen Shaver wrote ...

And the truth in this situation is this: Brockway came to our community and got hired because it was decided by us. He has been a true force of protection and help in our community. I am grateful for him and so should you be. And if he is harsh with you your son or your grandson then don't get mad at the cops get mad that your son brought the cops to you to begin with. HELLLOOOOOO

And community. Quit complaining and stand up for what you believe in. There is help out there to stop these bullies from taking over and from these corruptions. There really is. Start educating yourselves before judging another it is humbling and rewarding when you find out the truth.

Sunday, May 31 at 3:55 PM Colleen Shaver wrote ...

And as far as Casey's is concerned. Casey's Manager has anger management problems as well and she needs to seek professional help. If you need help please call the Department of Domestic Violence and seek it and quit taking it out on everyone else. That is for sure.

Sunday, May 31 at 3:53 PM Colleen Shaver wrote ...

of what is truly wrong with our community. It isn't Brockway. It is all of us fearing the other guys that threaten our taxes and our livlihood to gain for themselves. These are the people you need to be worried about.

Sunday, May 31 at 3:52 PM Colleen Shaver wrote ...

In closing, please don't make any mistake. It is the people that shy away from the bullies because of fear that allows the corruption(s) to go on. But it is also you the people that can stand up and fight for a difference and make it all go away and keep these corrupt people in check, like Brockway does, to make that difference. So quit complaining of one man and make a difference where it counts. You all have too much to lose to just let a private family matter like this get in the way of what

Sunday, May 31 at 3:46 PM Colleen Shaver wrote ...

But never make a difference. They are too afraid to stand up for what they believe in and don't have an ounce of courage that you have. Don't change for any of them. God is on your side and there should be more people like you in office then the communities wouldn't have to worry if they are getting robbed or not of thier taxes or livliness

Sunday, May 31 at 3:44 PM Colleen Shaver wrote ...

Chief Brockway. I would stand beside you in battle and I will honor you in all that you do. Your wife has an illness and your patience are more selfless than most. People are jealous of you because if they could do it better then they would be in your position. Don't let the unbelievers judge you. You know you are a good man and will always do what is right in the best interest of all involved and your beliefs are strong and you will prevail over these people whom claim to have so much to say

Sunday, May 31 at 3:41 PM Colleen Shaver wrote ...

And as far as Brockway's wife is concerned. Her illness is a disease. He accepted her for this disease and has more patience and has be selfless to provide her and her children with a life. She does need help and I believe that he called the Sheriffs dept to prevent her from hurting herself or others in her immediate state. Which by the way is exactly what he is supposed to do a an officer.

Sunday, May 31 at 3:39 PM Colleen Shaver wrote ...

Before a difference can be made you all need to humble yourselves and look at the truth. If you don't committ a crime you won't have to get Chief Brockway at your door. It seems the ones complaining all the time are the law breakers who are constantly on our court system rosters more than going to thier jobs. Look at the facts instead of judging.

Sunday, May 31 at 3:37 PM Colleen Shaver wrote ...

And I hate to tell you all but that is what his job is. It is to keep our young single families, our elderly and single women and children safe. Period. The only agenda here is a county that doesn't back up thier own and a community blinded by con men.

Sunday, May 31 at 3:36 PM Colleen Shaver wrote ...

Roanoke's Community has been bullied and strong armed by community members like the Kindig Family and by drug dealers and by the New Board members. Face it. You don't like Brockway because he WON'T LET YOU BREAK THE LAW.

Sunday, May 31 at 3:35 PM Colleen Shaver wrote ...

Michael Brockway has not done anything wrong. They system has been wrong. He is a man that has tried to do all that he can, but has been limited to being babysat by a community board that doesnt like that he isn't supposed to be the likeable guy he is the authority to keep our community safe and trust me Roanoke needs help in this area

Sunday, May 31 at 3:32 PM Colleen Shaver wrote ...

Noone wants to hear that Roanoke's New Board members are corrupt but they are. Houchen's practically entire family has taken over. Isn't this corruption. How can they be ethical and realistic with the decisions for our community when they only want to gain power and nnoteriety

Sunday, May 31 at 3:30 PM Colleen Shaver wrote ...

Michael Brockway is NOT corrupt he is a man of integrity. The problem everyone has with him is that they don't like the fact that he is realistic and tells people the facts that you the people don't wnat to hear

Sunday, May 31 at 3:26 PM Colleen Shaver wrote ...

I want everyone to know who I am. Why? Because I am going to write until you get all of what I have to say out. Corruption isn't done by just one man folks it is from acommunity of others that think they are better than the system and use others to gain for themselves.

Charges were dropped on brockway, sounds like he did nothing wrong. Dont know anything on his work ethics, but if the town is using this incident to get rid of him because they dont like him, SHAME on the city board.

Friday, May 29 at 10:35 AM anonymous wrote ...

Seems to me that his wife needs a mental institution more than anything and Brockway needs a reality check. However no one knows the whole story so no one should be judging unless you know him like me.

Lets also get rid of Keg Stand Boy who does nothing more than drive around town flirting with underage girls, then glares at adults through those Coooool aviator glasses he wears. This town needs help. What a waste of our money to pay for this kind of service.I work hard for my money and do not wish to support the WTT that seem to support our policemen, and I use the term loosely.

Thursday, May 28 at 9:33 PM Roanoke resident wrote ...

OK let me get this right, they arrested him because they don't like him.... Well if that's the case Roanoke residents don't like him, and neither do the Woodford County police. Does he have any fans besides our one women on the board that defends him at every turn. Oh that's right, she's the one that pushed for him to be hired, then her own son get's hired too. Isn't she also the one where the party was held and the police busted up the party? Let's have a clean sweep, let's get rid of her too.

They arrested him because they don't like him.I think everyone is in agreement of that.Just by knocking the knife out of her hand thats an assult.Right!He called County cause he "Thought" they would help her by having her commited for a while.She thinks she is ok & stops taking her meds.States attorney dropped the charges cause they had the facts.I can tell you don't know as much about him as you like to say you do cause they are his step children.They don't even have his last name!

This guy used to use the police car for his own personal use, I've seen him with his son in the police car last year more than once. Last year I saw him at IGA getting some groceries and his son waited in the car. We as taxpayers pay for the gas he was using to pick up his kids from school and escorting them home. There are so many problems that have arrose with this guy that I can't beleive we still have him on our taxpayers payroll.

Tuesday, May 26 at 8:44 PM Anonymous wrote ...

Seems a little strange that as a police officer he wasn't able to bring the situation under control in his own household without calling Woodford County Police himself. So if that was the case, how was it that when the police arrived they arrested him instead, sounds a little fishy. Woodford County beleived a Bipolar women over a police officer? Hmmm I don't think they would have arrested him unless they thought they had a just cause to do so. Come on people, wake up, the guy is bad news.

Tuesday, May 26 at 8:35 PM Totally Entertained wrote ...

Well I've really been entertained by reading everyone's comments. Has anyone bothered to ask, is our town idiot still with his wife, or since he loves her so much, has he made any efforts to have her committed to a hospital. Correct me if I'm wrong here, but doesn't anyone think maybe their children are in any danger in this household? While the wife swung the knives around, where were their children? Why are we paying him to serve and protect when he doesn't have a handle on his household?

Yeah, like we need a deputy with pictures of him doing keg stands, while be held up by his mother, while he was underage, looking out for our town. Crooked just like Brockway.

Tuesday, May 26 at 4:47 PM Roanoke PD supporter wrote ...

Brockaway is the only reason the department gets a bad rap, the other officers do a hell of a job with what their provided. It also really doesn't help that the department was established against many of the towns peoples wishes. I know that as long as brockaway is not the officer on duty that I can depend on the department to do its job right and if I were to need them they would be there. I really wish people would not judge the entire deparment on how poorly brockaway handles things.

He also says he conducts 800 some business checks a month and I know an owner who has accidentally left his doors unlocked and has never been called about it. The guys such a fake. He could learn to wave at people that wave at him. Not just glare at them. Another arrogant person thinking they run everything.

Tuesday, May 26 at 3:40 PM anonymous wrote ...

If he is such a good guy why were his kids walking from their house in the country to the school in Roanoke and one of them even had to be in Benson. In the middle of winter!?!?!? That's good parenting! If not for one of the so-called "MORONS" from Roanoke giving them a ride, something terrible could have happened. The guy is a liar. When he came to town he said he met all the business owners in Roanoke, and I know one for a fact that has never talked to him.

Tuesday, May 26 at 3:32 PM anonymous wrote ...

Just to make this clear-not ALL the former board members were in favor of forming a police deptment but when majority ruled that's what happened. I can't say that I am thrilled with the service that we are getting but I don't feel it's any worse then what we were getting from the county. I live right by the highway and would see the cops them sit in the same spot for hours and never move.

Tuesday, May 26 at 9:32 AM Anonymous wrote ...

Where does one start with this mess? Does it begin with old board members and one current board member voting to start our own police dept. against the wishes of the taxpayers? Was it hiring a man who did not list ALL of his past jobs? Was it seeing our chief on every road and street outside of Roanoke with a cell phone in his ear? Hasn't this man taken any traning so he would know how to handle this kind of situation? I am tired of a decision that was made against the taxpayers wishes.

Tuesday, May 26 at 9:25 AM Leave Caseys out of it!!! wrote ...

The Caseys manager is always helping people in the town out. Caseys is always rasing money to help people that have got hurt, or any other problem.I think that the man should get in trouble and maybe get fired.

Can anyone in the town of Roanoke spell. No wonder people think we are a bunch of hicks. Thank goodness we have a new town board. Maybe they will do what the citizens want and not what they want. We now have this idiot for a police chief because it was what the mayor and not what the majority of the town's people wanted. We were not allowed to vote on it. It has proven to be a huge fiasco since the beginning.

I have so many mixed emotions about the things I have read. Yes there are good cops and there are bad cops (many get away w/ a lot) It is sad. but true. Is there a perfect answer.NO We as a communitee need to come together (stop blaming everyone) and fix the problem. there is always 1 bad apple in the group. Talking to people I have never heard 1 good comment about the guy.so I dont know what to say. Locking kids in basement,wife beatin squad car, cuttin trees down at rental house and much more.

Maybee so of the Deputies do have it out for Brockway but if he would have came to town trying to work with every one and not running his mouth all the time he might have gotten some respect. If he was serious about working with the people hear he would keep his mouth shut and do his job and stop crying about everything. There are so many good cops out there we get stuck with a looser. It's to bad we need a police department working for the people in Roanoke.

If you got a ticket you probably did something to deserve it. Fess up to it! BTW..Mike isn't a coffee drinker! Mike is more honest than what you think, that's what gets him in trouble when the towns don't want him to give out tickets to certain people!! Why not if they did something wrong!

Monday, May 25 at 10:27 AM Relative wrote ...

I didn't want to go there but do I have to spell it out for you guys...his wife is BI-POLAR. She was in a state of MANIC. Maybe you should read up on the subject. Mike only wanted to get her HELP! But with Woodford County already objecting a Roanoke police dept alltogether it didn't matter who took the job they have been after him since day 1! They saw their hook and realed it in! If your not from the area you wouldn't know. Mike is serious about his work he loves what he does.

i dont have all the facts, but from what i am reading here, it sounds like the chief has some issues and the wife is a REAL nut job herself for going after (anyone) with a knife! sounds like they are made for each other.

Never have met a cop that was honest. Woodford County doesn't have a great track record, so why did roanoke think they could do better? Police officers have a tough job that's why the majority are are divorced because they mess around. And I am sure some one will slam this comment but take a pole on how many cops are divorced first I am sure its over 50% What a great role model they are!!

I think Roanoke could benefit from a police dept, but corrupt local gov screwed it up from the start. they first shouldn't have lied on how much money it was going to take to run the dept. I hope the new gov wilpublish correct numbers on the cost. Its not so much the $ per year, its the liablility of the city of non professional police officers that they have going to put Roanoke at Risk. FIRE every police officer and Start over with a Clear Mission statemanet, Not a thrown together dept.

I live in Roanoke and I know what kind of service we had from the county when they were taking care of us all they wanted to do is sit on the highway or leave town, so we need a police department but we need a chief that knows how to keep his mouth shut and do his job not wine about all the hours he says that he is working, when he is on duty he is either in the office or driving around at weird hours and on his cell phone non stop. We want a police department that is on the CITY street.

all you people need to get the facts right before you go shooting off your mouths none of you have the story right. Mike did nothing more but keep himself from getting stabbed. No battery was committed and the Woodford county cops were out to get him. They need to be sued for false arrest and the officer who arrested him needs to be fired cause he is an idiot. His wife should have been arrested of for aggravated assualt. Mike is a good guy and not a wife beater he loves his wife.

Saturday, May 23 at 11:37 PM Glasfordite wrote ...

I know Mike and I agree with Lil Sis - Mike loves his wife for better or worse. He has put up a lot with her that has caused him many problems. I have never known Mike to be a beater. As far as his work ethic - he has always been fair with everyone he dealt with. The entire story with this has not fully been divulged and maybe since the States Attorney is NOT pressing charges and since Woodford County DOES NOT like a police department in Roanoke - HMMMM. Think about it - Polital???

State of illinios law in domestic battery is arrest and ask questions later. thats what they did. what you people do if your spouse came after you with a knife. just stand there and take it. he knocked it out of her hand and because he hit her hand in doing so. it is domestic battery. so those people who like to judge others. think about what you would do. and go to the courthouse and research it. it is free. unless you want copies. sandi

I don't know why you people are commenting on something you don't know the facts about. The charges were dropped because Mike was innocent plain and simple! Mike was the one who called the county on his wife because she came at him with a knife! If you wanna know the rest of the story then go to the court house and read the report. BTW Mike really loves his wife for better or for worse! If you don't believe me then spend some of you time investigating her!!!

If that's the case about this county... intentionally putting people in jail who don't deserve it for the sole purpose of getting money from the state...wouldn't that be considered ripping off the state in a way?

Yes, of course, Woodford county is dysfunctional. But that's not the issue here. Ask the former members of the Roanoke Village Board and their puppet "lawyer" what they know about 1/Negligent hiring, and 2/Negligent retention. That would be fun. We are lucky this village hasn't been sued 18 ways from sideways. That a "concerned" person chooses to participate in this forum is a testament to WEEK's fairness. There is a place in this world for people who are illerate and ill-informed.

I've also heard that this county sentences people to jail time on very questionable cases in order to get more money from the state. I've heard the county gets a certain amount of money from the state each day for every inmate incarcerated in their jail. So they profit off it by filling up the jail. Ya this is sort of off topic, but maybe the bigger picture should be looked at in Woodford County..

Saturday, May 23 at 3:01 PM Just wondering wrote ...

Why is the State's Attorney not pressing charges on this? That's very odd. But nothing surprises me in woodford county. I've had friends of mine get petty traffic tickets...had no criminal record at all...and the judge sentenced them to 60 days in jail. But larger crimes committed by others..walk away with no time at all. This county's been very corrupt for a long time. Maybe it's time for someone outside the circle to look into the county's questionable practices.

This is quite sad. I have personally seen the man leer at under age girls. He gives me the creeps and should not be in law enforcement, let alone be allowed to carry a gun. We were forced into this situation by previous board members and now Roanoke is in the news for all the wrong reasons. This is a wonderful community in which to live and raise a family and it is so sad to see it's name dragged through the mud because an appointed official couldn't control his anger.

Blame Casey's? Casey's and its manager are positive and supportive of the community. Look instead to a faction of the previous board who, against overwhelming public opinion, ordained RPD. We were sold a bill of goods, which upon examination, are NO GOOD. Law enforcement is not a TV show, and simply catching bad guys. Rather it is largely customer service "to serve and protect" with a sprinkling of integrity and high moral standards. Sadly,these were not concerns when we were given RPD.

No it's not he chief that sits at Casey's it's the Saturday night cop that does that. Guess he is following in the steps of the Woodford County deputies that used to cover this town. The Casey's manager does not support the local police, why would they want to go there anyway????
