PROSECUTORS: MEN SET FIRE TO $ 3K WORTH OF FURNITURE AT GOLF CLUB
Two men set fire to thousands of dollars worth of furniture last week at the south suburban Olympia Fields Country Club, according to Cook County prosecutors.
One of the men, 25- year- old Lincoln Park resident Jacob A. Bourassa, is a member of the club and invited his friend, 26- year- old Kurt S. Altrichter, to join him in renting a room, prosecutors said at a joint court hearing Saturday.
The pair spent time playing golf, drinking and eating before going to an outdoor fire pit at the end of the day, prosecutors said.
At the pit, the two men started to throw wicker furniture into the fire, prosecutors said. By the time they were done, Bourassa and Altrichter had burned $ 3,311.15 worth of furniture, court records show.
