Prosecutors say they will not file charges against an Urbana man who was arrested Monday, after he posted a photo of himself burning an American flag on Facebook.

A number of U of I students and guests from other schools are expected in the Campustown neighborhood Friday for Unofficial St. Patrick's Day, the binge drinking event that started as a bar promotion in the mid-90's. Extra patrols will be in place around campus, and Champaign and Urbana have emergency orders in place, including a ban on keg permits, and U of I dorms have banned overnight guests.

The officer says he was doing a routine patrol through Crystal Lake Park, when he ran a license plate of a vehicle belonging to 55-year old Duane Eric Edwards, who is a registered sex offender. 

Urbana council members say they're ready to enact some of the recommendations made in a report finding racial disparities in traffic stops by Urbana police.
