Gay men’s beauty pageant: Contestant, judge accused of beating another judge with trophy

Not many beauty pageants end with a judge and contestant attacking another judge — with a trophy.

Two men were ordered held on bond Wednesday after they were charged with beating a judge at a gay men’s beauty pageant earlier this month on Chicago’s West Side.

Leroy Tinch, 28, of the 2200 block of Emerson Street in Evanston and Anthony Johnson, 23, of the 8200 block of Keating Avenue in Skokie were both charged with aggravated battery with great bodily harm, a class one felony, said Andrew Conklin, a spokesman for the Cook County state’s attorney’s office.

The men were ordered held on $75,000 bond by Circuit Court Judge Maria Kuriakos Ciesil.See Gay men’s beauty pageant: Contestant, judge accused of beating …
