Jacksonville native faces Criminal Charges
A Jacksonville native is arrested for crimes he allegedly committed more than a decade ago.
49-year-old Ronald Johnson was taken into custody in Tennessee last month. He's lived there since 2004.
While conducting a criminal investigation, Tennessee authorities developed information, supporting charges that Johnson sexually assaulted a juvenile family member, when they lived in Jacksonville.
The alleged incidents happened between 1994 and 1995, and again in 1999 and 2000.
During his first court appearance in Tennessee, Johnson waved extradition to Illinois, to face predatory criminal sexual assault and criminal sexual assault charges.
He's awaiting his first court appearance in Morgan County.

Funeral services set for Chicago school official
November 20, 2009 17:24 EST
CHICAGO (AP) -- Funeral services have been set for former Chicago Board of Education President Michael Scott.
Visitation and a private service will be Saturday at Holy Family Church in Chicago. A public memorial will be Sunday at the Chicago campus of the University of Illinois.
Scott's body was found earlier this week partially submerged in the Chicago River. A .380-caliber handgun was nearby.
The Cook County medical examiner's office has ruled the 60-year-old's death a suicide. But a group of community activists have said they don't believe Scott killed himself.
Chicago police continued their investigation, but haven't found evidence Scott was the victim of a crime.
Scott, who's been called lifelong public servant, was appointed to the school board three times.
