Chicago- A Winnetka man with ties to white supremacist Matt Hale has been charged with attacking two teenagers after they told him they were lesbians, prosecutors said Friday.
Patrick Langballe, 29, of the 1400 block of Asbury Avenue in Winnetka, was charged along with Aaron Rush, 20, of Green Bay, with a hate crime, armed robbery, aggravated battery and unlawful use of a weapon in the June 16 attack against the girls, 17 and 18, at Illinois Beach State Park near Zion.
The men were arrested Thursday near Gurnee by Lake County sheriff's investigators. In a court hearing Friday, bail was set at $1 million for Langballe and $1.5 million for Rush, prosecutors said. The men were being held in Lake County Jail.
