Peoria Journal Star, 22 Jul 2011 – If you were driving in Peoria at about 8 p.m. Monday night and happened by a pub in the 2500 block of NE Adams Street, you would have seen a slew of police cars and a taped-off side road and parking lot. That’s where 43-year-old Pekin resident James C. Slater Jr., bleeding badly from a head wound, had collapsed following an altercation at a nearby residence.
