Last night’s Sturtevant Village Board meeting went on without embattled President Steve Jansen, who was still in jail on a felony stalking charge reference an ex-girlfriend, and there almost no mention of the situation except for a Trustee candidate bringing it up during public comment.
Former Village President Allan Acker, after the meeting, told the horde of reporters the process has to play itself out, but this certainly has cast a shadow on the community.

Jansen’s bond with a formal charge of Stalking was set at $1,000. The criminal complaint alleged he just couldn’t give up the fact his ex-girlfriend wanted nothing more to do with him.
