North Chicago's "Officer of the Year" has been charged with seriously injuring a police chief he allegedly found in his estranged wife's home, police said.
Carl Sain, 45, was charged with felony aggravated battery for allegedly attacking Police Chief Artis Yancey, who was hospitalized with several broken bones in his face, the Chicago Sun-Times reported Tuesday.
Sain allegedly beat Yancey Wednesday night after breaking a window in his estranged wife's home in Waukegan and finding Yancey alone in an upstairs bedroom, Lake County State's Attorney Michael Waller said, noting Sain's wife called 911.
Sain, named North Chicago Police Officer of the Year in April, and his wife are divorcing. Yancey is a friend of Sain's wife, Waller said.
Sain, who was not available for comment, was released Sunday on $75,000 bail and put on administrative leave, the Sun-Times reported.
Yancey, who was expected to recover, was taking time off from his job and was not available for comment, a Waukegan police spokesman said.

This is 5 year old news now, this altercation between then-Chief Artis Yancey and an enraged, irrational Officer Carl Sain. Mr. Yancey acted to avoid a confrontation with this man, but allowed Sain to beat his head so badly, that he required surgery. Now 5 years later, Yancey is dead, suddenly collapsing in his home from causes unknown. I believe that the damage that his skull sustained as a result of the beating he endured by Sain, may have contributed to his premature demise, or may have been the cause of it. Tragic.
