She said she’d been looking for about 5 years for a new location, since the old “building needed a lot of work, the kind where we’d need to vacate.” When the store’s lease was up, she moved down the street.

Lt. Daniel Miller of the Forest Park Police Department has had 17 complaints filed against him since 2008, according to village documents provided to the Review under a Freedom of Information Act request. While many of the complaints were determined to have been unfounded, meaning law enforcement authorities investigated the incidents and found them to be false or baseless, others have resulted in oneday suspensions or a letter of reprimand. The most-recent complaint against Miller was in April, when someone filed a complaint that an off-duty officer pulled a gun on them, JESSICA MORDACQ
