Carpentersville Village President May Face Contempt Citation

Carpentersville Village President Bill Sarto may face a contempt citation for failing to appear in court to testify Friday in a domestic violence case against a rival village trustee, a prosecutor said.

Sarto was called to testify in the case of trustee Paul Humpfer, who was found guilty of domestic battery this year.

Sarto could be held in contempt, said Kane County Assistant State's Atty. Elizabeth Miles.

A private investigator said Sarto refused to accept a subpoena when he approached Sarto in the Village Hall parking lot this month, according to a court document.

The investigator, Eric Moskal, said he saw a man arrive in a car, which had a license plate that read, "SARTO," the document said.
