Related: About this forumFox lake cop was a criminal, and was willing to put 2 white men and 1 black man in jail for life
just so his family could get extra pension money on his death which is now deemed a suicide due to his criminal investigation. Cops harassed coroner at his home in front of the coroners family,when it was first brought up that it looked like suicide.
Ok kill your self but why bring 3 innocent people and a racial slant into the mess. People on lock down all day and $$$$ spent on man hunt . Then the cops were on a crazy manhunt for cop killers, that didn't exist but they tried to find and we know how that goes down.
Cop before killing himself called in he was in pursuit of 2 white men and 1 black men for suspicious activity. Then he was found dead in the woods. Thankfully everyone arrested had alibis!!
Criminal acts to the end . His list of crimes and stealing are part of an investigation of the whole force

(6,027 posts)snipe hunt in nearby Volo brought out 2 copters (plus 3 news copters) 6 canine units and 70-80 officers. This was all based on some dingbat who wanted attention and said that 2 guys resembling the perps had tried to hitch a ride to nearby Wisconsin.
I regularly travel through this town and there are.lots of makeshift memorials, tributes at local business, vehicles with rear windows painted up in tribute to "GI Joe", who now appears to be the worst sort of low rent criminal and coward.
Shock and disbelief only begin to express the local attitude of those whose outpouring of sympathy and support now appear to have been cynically manipulated.

(1,869 posts)Eric Zorn's piece in today's Chicago Tribune, "according to Section 3-147 of the Illinois Pension Code says that pension benefits are to be denied "to any person who is convicted of any felony relating to or arising out of or in connection with his or her service as a police officer."
Zorn calls on the Illinois General Assembly to amend Section 3-147 and calls for a special commission to hear evidence and pass judgment in cases of pension-eligible employees who die before plausible allegations of felonious official misconduct can be adjudicated.

(3,263 posts)Had his son marry his ,cop's, mistress for full military wives kbenefits per her ex husband she was the cops mistress . Sure she was getting some of the kids fund money but why buy benefits when you can get your son to commit military fraud? Both wife and son under investigation now maybe sons wife too although military handle their own investigations I think
But yes he never was convicted so as it stands ......thanks for article
