Updated: Stone Arrested After Violating Order of Protection

Former Buffalo Grove trustee Lisa Stone was arrested Friday by Mundelein police for violating an order of protection.

Stone’s stepmother requested an emergency order of protection on behalf of herself and Stone’s father on Feb. 7, according to documentation obtained by Patch. The couple live in Mundelein.

“For the past two weeks Lisa has called every other day, harassing me and threatening me,” Barbara Shuman detailed in the complaint.

“I fear that her behavior is escalating and I am afraid/terrified that she will show up at my house and hurt me and/or my husband,” she continued. 

Stone said the complaint stemmed in part from disagreements with her stepmother regarding the care of her father. She said that she left three voice messages for her stepmother, and “I did call her a really bad word.”

Stone also admitted that after she was served with the order of protection, which prohibited her from visiting, calling or otherwise contacting her father and his wife, that she called her father.

As a result, she said she was prepared to be arrested at a Feb. 28 court hearing and that she packed for an overnight trip to jail. “I pulled out my pajamas. I was ready to do whatever,” she said.

The hearing was continued to March 21, until which time the order of protection remains in place.

Mundelein police obtained a warrant for her arrest, which they carried out Friday evening in in Buffalo Grove, Cmdr. Gary Duhamel said. Stone posted $1,000 bond and was released, he said.

Duhamel said Monday he was uncertain why the warrant was issued. Stone told Patch that after her last court date, she attempted to contact her father through a third party, not realizing that it, too, was not allowed under the order of protection. "I thought if I just stayed out of Mundelein I was cool," she said.

The Daily Herald reported that police issued the warrant in connection with the third-party contact.

Stone said that she will follow the order until the next hearing. At that time, she said, “I will say to [Lake County] Judge [George] Strickland, ‘What can I do to prove my love for my father?’” 

“If the judge says I can’t see my father, [the judge] will deal with God,” Stone said.
