The mother of a Vernon Hills man charged with suffocating his wife posted the $300,000 required to get him out of jail on Tuesday – 10 percent of his $3 million bond.

Prosecutors asked for an emergency hearing before Judge Fred Foreman upon learning that Ronald Stolberg’s mother arrived at the jail with the $300,000, officials said. Conditions for Stolberg’s release had not been set at the time of his bond hearing.

Stolberg, 47, is charged with killing his wife Rachel Stolberg, 54, in their home in the 300 block of Farmington Lane, authorities said. Her body was discovered at about 5:30 p.m. on June 8.

Lake County Assistant State’s Attorney Jim Newman asked Foreman to place Stolberg on a 24 hour curfew, and have him fitted with an electronic ankle monitor.

Defense Attorney William Hedrick asked Foreman to allow Stolberg to leave his mother’s home to see doctors and his attorneys, shop for food, and attend grief counseling.

Hedrick said that if Stolberg was placed on a 24 hour curfew, “You will turn his mother’s house into another jail.”

Newman argued that Stolberg should not be allowed to have “carte blanche” to leave the home for reasons other than mental health treatment or to meet with his attorneys.

“I don’t think he should be allowed to attend grief counseling for someone who passed, based on his own actions,” he said.

Foreman agreed with the prosecution’s request to place Stolberg on a 24-hour curfew and an ankle monitor while living at his mother’s house. But he will allow him to leave for “mental health treatment” or to prepare his defense with his attorneys.

He must also submit to random drug and alcohol testing, and can’t have any contact with witnesses in the case, Foreman said.

Foreman also said that he will assess Stolberg’s behavior while out on bond at his next pre-trial court appearance, scheduled for Aug. 30. He’ll reassess the conditions of the bond at that appearance.
