Doesn't everybody check the village's web site at 2:00 am? I'll bet Braiman hopped in his car, drove right down to village hall and rebooted the interweb server just so Stone could find out what time the Canasta game started at the senior center and where she could recycle her old electronics. I guess life gets really lonely and boring when you're a disgraced recalled trustee and "Community Activist" with no legitimate cause to dedicate your superhuman activist skills to. So why not ring up the village president in the middle of the night to tell him the website isn't working? Seems perfectly normal to me.

Here's the first part of the article...I'm not making this stuff up folks.

BUFFALO GROVE — Village President Jeff Braiman notified police Jan. 13 of “escalating” issues with former Village Trustee Lisa Stone.

According to a police report, Braiman told officers that the issues relate to Stone’s sex toy business and her calling him in the middle of the night.

Braiman told Buffalo Grove police that about two weeks ago Stone visited his Arlington Heights law office.

“Stone wanted to give her business card for her sex toy business,” said Braiman, according to the report.

Stone allegedly followed that encounter with a phone call to Braiman’s home at 2:36 a.m. Jan. 13. According to the report, Braiman’s wife, Sue, picked up the phone and concluded the call quickly when she realized who was on the other end.

“Mrs. Braiman said to Stone, ‘How dare you call, go to hell,’ and hung up the phone,” the report states.

Sex toy business??

What's the story with that?

RC - we're relying on you to get to the bottom of it (no pun intended).

It is an unwritten standard protocol is to contact any business / governmental agency during regular business hours to report that a website is down. Sounds like unnecessary harrassment to me. Kids who call people in the middle of the night that should not be called, get into trouble. I think she is just trying to get free publicity again.

Remember ... she's the 'community activist' so she's monitoring all that is, and is not, VBG 24x7/365 so she can immediately 'trounce' upon any and all wrong doers. Me thinks this is just another of her publicity stunts to keep her name in the public eye. Remember, she's stated she'd break the law/rules/etc if SHE felt it was in the public's best interest since she 'knows all'.

In related news she followed up with a call to the 24 hour Walgreen's asking if they had Prince Albert in a can....

I'm confused and maybe a little behind on the Stone scoop. Is she re-elected at some capacity within the Village that allows her to call Village officials at this hour? Over a website? Visits Braiman at work in Arlington Heights? Sounds like stalking, or is there something more going on here?

I think she probably went to his office to embarrass him. Can you imagine what she might have said to him about needing her wares? She's said things to embarrass him in the past, so why would anyone assume she was simply marketing?

This off the wall erratic behavior is the kind of aggressive escalated behavior we often see before some unstable people go off the deep end and do the unthinkable, so we can laugh at her, but I would view this as serious stuff and get a restraining order if I were Braiman.

This woman needs to be dealt with once and for all. She is a menace to Buffalo Grove and seeks attention from the press and the village board. She should take her sex toy business and go elsewhere.

Its time that Lisa gets some help. I hope she has a family and support group of friends who can see whats happening to her, and can find the courage to act soon to intervene before she does harm to herself or others. This situation has moved well beyond reality show entertainment and material for the public grist mill.

Look at her response to this article on her FB, and then please someone interpret for me. http://www.facebook.com/lisa.s.stone.5

AH Vixen, it would be better to do research than listen to Seth Bullock who sounds JUST like Lisa in his arguments and phrasing. I've lived in BG for 25 yrs and women on the board have done just fine disagreeing with the men. NO signs of sexism or misogyny. She uses that as an excuse but the truth is it wasn't men who voted her out of office, it was men AND women here in town who had kept up with her nonsense and grew sick of it. Our village board got NOTHING done in the two years she held her seat. She was disrespectful, mean-spirited and rude to those on the board and anyone else who disagreed with her. She was unwilling to accept the finding of experts who disagreed with her, and kept asking for proof when it was provided over and over. She took over the board meetings hijacking every topic until some of the meetings ran past midnight. Some of the members were physically affected by her antics. She's not normal. She's "off". And anyone who thinks it's normal or appropriate to show up at the village presidents place of employment to hand out business cards for her sex toy business is also off. Anyone who thinks it's normal or appropriate to call the village presidents home at 2:30 in the morning to complain that the village website down is off. She has gone after Braiman and others for years because she holds them responsible for her losing her seat. She won't stop. That is SICK and he needs to take steps to protect himself and his family before she does more.

And by "you" I don't mean AH Vixen, who obviously knows what's going on here, but universal "you", i.e. anyone else reading who may think Seth Bullock's comments have merit.

Seth- you are the one who has spouted misogynist crap, and YOU are the one who bullied people by spewing vitriol every time a discussion about Ms.Stone's antics popped up. Anyone can go back and look at your comments over the last couple of years and see that you have been both an apologist and loyal supporter of Stone- even when she was completely off the rails as a Trustee. Despite your occasional (and very weak) "protests" that you didn't support Her, the real truth is that that is virtually ALL you did. You did your best ( which wasn't very good) to legitimize, rationalize, and explain away her obnoxious incompetence - even after 8000+ voters chased her out of office.

You also tried to prove that I, and many other online commenters were bullying HER, when in fact, we were expressing outrage and and disgust about the disruption and horrific waste of taxpayer money she caused while in office and her subsequent "community activist" phase. Yet, you looked the other way as she hijacked board meetings, harassed village staff, and made countless unverifiable claims about alleged wrong-doing and other nefarious activities among the board and staff. Did you EVER point out that her antics were, in fact, BULLYING? Nope- but you sure called us out when we complained about it, didn't you Seth?

Anyone who wants to waste their time looking up your comments over the last few years will see who the real misogynist bully- and liar- is.

all of your comments speak for themselves, filled with hate and self-righteousness. the lynch mob of moral lepers is intact, and growing, and as debasing to everyone as ever.

Oh, the irony of Seth's comment. But then again, he's such a paragon of virtue that he is beyond reproach. And besides trying to legitimize Stone's every word and deed, what exactly do you stand for Seth?

Where did you learn all that fancy language? Duke? I thought you were pre-med, not an English major. Did you just discover dictionary.com and copy some big words that you think will make you sound smart? Perhaps it was because you were a master debater in high school? Or did all those judo lessons give you that mental toughness?

Buffalo Grove police investigate another complaint against former trustee Stone

BUFFALO GROVE — The list of police reports against former Village Trustee Lisa Stone grew longer this week.

On Jan. 15, a customer at the Buffalo Restaurant, 1180 W. Lake-Cook Road, called police to report an intoxicated woman disturbing her group. The caller, according to a police report, claimed the woman was Stone.

“She was allegedly harassing customers and going into the kitchen with two other subjects,” the report states. “Ms. Stone and her acquaintances had left just before we arrived.”

Officers said they spoke with customers and the restaurant’s manager, who both reported that Stone and her two friends walked into the kitchen.

“She also was heard to be saying, ‘It’s OK. I’m friends with Joe Biden and Katie Couric,’” the report reads.

On Tuesday, Stone confirmed that she was at the Buffalo on Jan. 15, and did greet two employees in the kitchen. She was adamant that she was sober, however.

“I don’t drink,” Stone said. “No way. I mean, a glass or two.”

Stone, the former trustee who voters recalled from office in November of 2010, also drew the ire of Village President Jeff Braiman two weeks ago.

He called police after Stone allegedly called his house at 2:30 a.m., and told officers that he felt his long-running dispute with Stone was “escalating.”

Cue the Buffalo owner telling us that he doesn't let people in his kitchen.

Assuming Stone is friends with Joe Biden and Katie Couric, does she believe that gives her license to enter a restaurant's kitchen?

Assuming Stone is not friends with Joe Biden and Katie Couric, what does her comment signify?

I hope her friends - or family - urge her to get some help. Should someone give Joe Biden or Katie Couric a call?

Oh yes, because Biden is the right person to go to for a rational thought and about not being intrusive.

Wonder how the health department would feel about non-personnel being in the kitchen.

Best quote in the whole article; "I don't drink." Stone said. "No way. I mean, a glass or two." = "I don't lie. No way. I mean, only a fib or two."

Interestingly the Daily Herald has not run this story. I wonder why not. Could Stone finally failed to see the glory in any publicity and asked her personal editor to hold the story?

I might have to do a FOIA request to get a copy of the police reports for these incidents. I'll bet they'd make some interesting reading.

Did Raingirl's mother have any kids that lived?
