Drug Charges for Palatine Man and Others Dropped Due to Credibility Issues with Schaumburg Cops
The Cook County State's Attorney plans to drop 15 of 19 drug cases investigated by three Schaumburg police officers arrested for shaking down drug dealers due to credibility issues, the Chicago Tribune reports.
Three drug cases previously investigated by three Schaumburg cops were dropped Monday by the Cook County State's Attorney, due to what is seen as a lack of crediblity of the officers, the Chicago Tribune Reports.
John Cichy, Matt Hudak and Terrie O'Brien face charges of manufacturing and delivering cocaine, armed violence and theft.
Cocaine delivery charges against Alex Garcia of Palatine, Ecstasy possesion charges against Raina Lewerenz of Franklin Park and marijuana delivery charges against Marleny Gutierrez of Wheeling all were dropped, according to the Chicago Tribune; 15 of 19 drug cases handled by cops are expected to be thrown out by prosecutors.
