CROWN POINT, Ind. (AP) — A northern Indiana sheriff says it will take a court order for him to provide entertainment to a man charged with strangling two women and suspected of killing five others.

Lake County Sheriff John Buncich says Darren Vann's attorneys have asked the jail warden to return or provide Vann with a book he'd previously received about the Chicago White Sox.

Buncich tells the Munster Times he'll feed, clothe and shelter the 43-year-old, but won't entertain Vann without a court order, adding “Does he think I run a newsstand?”

Vann's attorneys said in a letter that he should receive normal privileges given to other inmates.

Buncich says Vann is being held separate from the jail's general population, but has access to its commissary, paper and writing utensils and its law library.
