Cal Skinner writes today about a Chicago Sun-Times article reporting results of an investigation into the operation of the Evidence Room of the Chicago Police Department. You can read his article by clicking right here.
This is not the first time that I have wondered how secure the evidence in the hands of the McHenry County Sheriff's Department has been. If you remember, the McHenry (City) Police Department audited its own evidence room, after one of its officers was arrested. It happened to be the guy in charge of evidence.
As many know, the guy in charge of the McHenry County Sheriff's Department evidence room was arrested on ten felony charges last January, and more recently the Feds piled on with their own charges. And the MCSD sergeant is sitting in the Boone County Jail on a no-bond hold.
It would have been logical for the McHenry County Sheriff's Department to put everything ever touched by Sgt. Greg Pyle under a microscope. Is everything in the evidence room accounted for? Are any cases in jeopardy? Are all the computers accounted for?
But I haven't seen one word issued by the Sheriff's Dept. Not by Nygren. Not by Zinke.
And, speaking of Pyle. Where is the announcement that Pyle is no longer associated with the Sheriff's Dept.? Didn't Nygren say that Pyle was going to resign when his "benefits" ran out and that he (Nygren) was going to "let" him resign?
Nygren should not let Pyle resign. He should discipline him for all the infractions of the General Orders. Some say you can't get blood out of a turnip. You never know what might spill out when you squeeze a turnip.
Could there be anything that some would not want to spill out?
