Why would he go to court then leave. What a goof ball. Glad they got him.

He's really got a good heart. He just has some things to work on. Orchard Valley would be a good start. Everyone makes mistakes, he just needs to start learning from them.

Ryan os a grat guy idc care what anyone says oswego has nothing else better to do in there boring lifes i lived there for 10 year they were at my house every other day for the stupidest things ever

notice how like all the charges are crimes against the state probably provoked by the state lol dangerous criminal? eric weis is a horrible person with a grudge and no place in politics or justice, he needs to leave

jm and john are dumb. the state provoked this dude's dui, and his domestic battery charges? what a joke! a perfect example of someone not taking responsibility for their actions. if you guys know this piece of work, tell him to man up to his charges.

Wow! There are some awfully crabby and bitter people commenting today. Eric Weis and the police are just doing there JOB. No one forced him to commit the crimes, he did that on his own, now it is time to face the consequences of his actions. No one said he wasn't a good guy, but he made mistakes and these are the results.

Thank goodness this fool no longer lives near me. Cops were at his rental dump house just about every weekend until he was finally forced to move out a couple months ago. LANDLORDS: Please do background checks, not just credit checks on your prospective tenants!

Wow. The grammar alone by Ryan's advocates speaks volumes. You do the crime, do the time. As others have said, you can be a great guy, but if you break the law, man up. Pathetic.

For everyone who is talking about ryan as if you know what kind of person he is you guys have no clue on who the real ryan is he is a good hearted man and we all make not so good life choices so before you go and open your mouth about people make sure you know the whole story and the person!!!!

Ok

Let's get a few things straight here...
First of all, I am a very close friend of Ryan's, he is basically family in my eyes. That being said, has Ryan made poor decisions? YES are those of us who love him upset? FOR SURE Does he need to face the consequences of his actions? YES
Now... For everyone on here making some pretty strong assumptions about his charges... He is NOT a "wife beater" as some have referred him as. #1, he's never been married!!! #2 last time I checked, domestic battery charges don't only apply to a dispute between a husband/wife, boyfriend/girlfriend or even male/female for that matter!! A domestic battery charge can be anyone in your HOUSEHOLD... Brother, uncle, father, cousin, friend living with you... This list goes on. So while he is no angel (as none of us are unless we have the messiah living in Oswego and I missed the news) lets not jump to conclusions about something like that. Being called a "wife beater" is a pretty strong allegation and for the record he isnt!
Oh, and I hope my vocabulary and spelling was up to your standards kj44... Amazing, huh? Educated people are friends with him too!! WOW
Way to judge Oswego!! Funny in this town everyone's perfect until THEIR family member is the one headlining the Patch! What a joke...

@Jennifer. It sounds to me that you may know Ryan hairgrove. I do not,but I would like to know are all of Ryan's charges that are brought against him false? Domestic battery, drunken driving, fleeing police,resisting arrest,failure to pay rent. Also my information shows this in not just one terrible night. These charges are all separate occasions. Yes we all make mistakes, but seriously your going to say he has a good heart. Also I only listed a few charges.

@ GG79. You are correct in your statement, I hope all who feel that Mr.Hairgrove is like family and a great friend are their for him when he needs you.
.

Glad he is off the street! http://www.co.kendall.il.us/circuitclerk/eMagnus.html type his name in this website, glad they got this guy off the street! I wouldn't call this guy "nice" Grow up, you have children!

@MT, thank you and without a doubt we are here for him. It is heartbreaking for all of us having to deal with this. People need to remember everyone has people who love them... And unfair assumptions only make matters more difficult. Things like DUI & resisting are cut and dry, but it saddens me that when someone is charged with a domestic battery they are automatically labeled a "wife beater" unfortunately a lot of times that is the case but not always. People need to remember that.

@mt if you read gg79 post domestic can be done beetween anyone he has made bad life choices and yes he is going to pay for them it doesn't mean he is a horrible person by any means and quite a few of the charges occurred in one bad night stuff happens in life but he is a good person dispite what people say or think of him do all I'm trying to say is people shouldn't pass judgement if they don't know all the facts of the matter

since when has this turned into a bashing session?? YEa he has made bad choices but he is a grown man and friends and family can only to so much to try and point there loved ones in the right direction at the end of the day he is the one who made his own choices in life weather they good ones or bad so who are any of you to pass any lind of judgement on his family or friends we can oly do so much but the ultimite choice is left in his hands but regadless of what you guys may think of have read or seen he is a great friend brother, uncle and son to his family and TRUE friends

@kj44 Really? What exactly would you suggest? Obviously there has been intervention and discussion and pleading to find the right path. The fact is, he's a grown man and we can't hold his hand, chain him in a room or follow him everywhere to watch every move that is made. There has been "interference" and as far as writing him off... Nope, not what you do to people you care about. At least I don't. He has never harmed, indangered or brought any trouble into or around myself or my home so I will continue to TRY to support and guide him and pray he finds the right path. My whole point is people are passing judgement off on not only him but his friends & family. I am not ignorant nor have I EVER had more than a traffic ticket but right away anyone who defends him in someway on here is classified as his "advocates with bad grammar". I don't condone breaking the law but there are some misinterpretations and assumptions being voiced that are incorrect.

If he's such a "nice" guy why didn't he just come out of the trailer and surrender? Do you know how many sheriff personnel were at that scene? A LOT! Everyone who lives near the standoff area, trying to get home from work or wherever, had to turn around and go miles out of their way to get home, all wondering if their families were in danger. The officers would only tell us that the “Swat” team was there and we “could “ be in danger and to stay in our houses. There was so much speculation as to what the situation was. Many heard there was a hostage situation! The money he cost us taxpayers should be enough to throw him in jail! We pay in enough in taxes around here! I admire and applaud the Sherriff’s deputies and policemen for putting their lives in danger for us but they should have smoked him out way before they did!

Hey, people, I went to http://www.co.kendall.il.us/circuitclerk/eMagnus.html; as suggested and counted 60+ arrests – That’s 2 per year since the day he was born! Does this fit the definition of insanity? You know, doing the same thing over and over but expecting something different! NO that illustrates a criminal mind and it was not his parents fault unless maybe his Aunt is also his Mother who is married to his Grandfather. And there we have the new oppressed minority who deserve extra consideration and a helping hand (welfare check) from the 49% who pay taxes!

All right, I'm shutting this down. The personal attacks have gotten way out of hand.
