Illinois ? Chicago Ridge deputy fire chief was being held on $150,000 bond after prosecutors alleged that he broke into a neighbor?s home wearing a ski mask and carrying a knife.

Gary Swiercz, 49, of the 8100 block of West 168th Place in Tinley Park, has been charged with attempted murder, home invasion, aggravated unlawful restraint, aggravated attempted criminal sexual assault and residential burglary, authorities said.

Swiercz allegedly broke into the home of a woman in his condo building early Saturday while wearing a ski mask and carrying a folding knife. He also had duct tape, rope, a sex toy and lubricant, Assistant State?s Attorney Dan Calandriello said in court.

I wonder what his plan was? :)

He'll probably ask for leniency since he had a lubricant.

It's Illinois. The government does it to their residents every day, without the lubricant. Government, like the mob, doesn't like competition.

I believe it was to "lubricate some squeaky hinges. He just wanted to be an anonymous benefactor..

To go skiing. But in snow country sometimes you need to chip away at the ice, so this is where the knife comes in handy.
