Lake County candidate has other name­ — and arrests — in his past

Michael Carbone is running for Lake County Board on a promise to lower property taxes, create jobs and keep the workings of government transparent. But it’s Carbone’s own past that is murky. For most of his life he was known as Michael Jorudd. Under that name, he racked up criminal arrests and charges that include driving on a suspended license, criminal trespass to property, assault and two DUI charges. Carbone insists that the fact he’s now using a different name doesn’t mean he’s trying to hide anything.
