Home invasion count against man dismissed
URBANA – A Champaign County judge Wednesday dismissed the more serious of two criminal counts against a Champaign man in connection with a 2004 incident at an Urbana woman's home.
Judge Harry Clem dismissed a home invasion charge against Patrick Thompson, 39, saying that special prosecutor Michael Vujovich failed to present evidence on one of the necessary elements to prove the offense: that Thompson was not a peace officer acting in the line of duty.
