Romeoville police say Lewis University student Jamie Olson took steps to conceal her involvement in the suspected heroin death of her friend.

A 20-year-old Frankfort woman died of a drug overdose while at a Lewis University dorm this weekend, and the friend with whom she was staying has been arrested for trying to conceal her role in the death, Romeoville police said Monday. Anna Marinier was found dead at Fitzpatrick Hall at about 11:10 a.m. Sunday, Romeoville Assistant Police Chief Steve Lucchesi said.

Hitting the Threshold: Mysteries Remain Years After Million-Dollar Pot Bust

Nine boxes of marijuana. One closed record store. And, three years later, zero arrests.

While many Tinley Park residents guzzled cocktails and caught up with grandma, James Zintak spent Thanksgiving Eve 2007 with drugs at his back and guns in his face, staring wide-eyed into the muzzles of a small army of police. All the part-time record store clerk was trying to do that night was lock up the shop and go home when cops descended on him in what's become one of Tinley Park's most mysterious drug busts. "Police officers, both unmarked and marked, came out of nowhere," Zintak said. "All of a sudden, it was a situation. All of a sudden, I noticed they had rifles." Chicago cops hauled nearly a million dollars worth of marijuana out of Tinley Park's only record store that night, according to police records. Zintak, 21 at the time, …
