The Lake County Sheriff’s Department and Munster Police are investigating a threat leveled against a Munster town attorney that resulted in the firm resigning from the town.
Munster Plan Commission Attorney Nicole Bennett told Sheriff’s officers that she was at the Lake County Government Complex between 1:30 pm and 3:30 p.m. June 18. When she left, she noticed a paper note under her windshield, according to a police report.
The note Bennett handed to the responding officer said “Get out of Munster,” the report said.
Bennett then told the officer that she and her husband, David Westland, are attorneys for Munster and that she didn’t know who would’ve left the note, the report said.
