Undersheriff Zinke says Koziol is a disgruntled employee.
Why am I hearing from so many employees of the McHenry County Sheriff's Department that Koziol is not a disgruntled employee?
I don't know Sgt. John Koziol. To my knowledge, I've never heard from him, had a conversation with him or been anywhere near him.
What choice did Koziol have, when he realized the DEA investigation had been compromised by Zinke? Was he supposed to go to Zinke and complain? Complain to Sheriff Nygren?
Koziol couldn't even complain to District 2 of the Illinois State Police. It doesn't have the best track record (at least, with me) for keeping the name of an informant confidential.
Koziol will be ostracized within the Department. And he shouldn't be. He stood up for what many good employees in the McHenry County Sheriff's Department stand for. They may not stand "up" for it; they know the risk to their careers in doing so.
Where did the drugs come from that were enroute to RITA Corporation? How many other truckloads of illegal drugs are known to have been headed for RITA Corporation?
Why would Brian Goode be in the Sheriff's Department parking lot with a fistful of company records to talk to Zinke in July? "I told Brian everything." How did Sgt. Koziol keep his composure? Or did he?
Be sure to read Nygren's blaming statement about Koziol in today's Northwest Herald. Nygren didn't express outrage at Zinke's alleged compromising of the DEA investigation. It's certainly "safe" for Nygren to say that he "can gladly answer any questions" after the DEA closes its case.
When is the last time that Nygren did anything "gladly", other than laugh when that $12,000 hit his checking account each month while he was vacationing in Wisconsin or Florida?
Here's what must change. When a sheriff's deputy is assigned to an inter-governmental task force, such as Koziol was, and criminal activity in his own department is suspected, that deputy must be relieved of his department's requirement to report it to his supervisors, up to and including the top dog in the department.
What if Koziol had not been so required, and what if the suspicions of the DEA are true?

The obvious answer if he thought a DEA investigation had been compromised was inform the DEA and let them handle it. Very suspicious that he took the "special investigator" request route instead of letting the federal agency that was allegedly victimized handle. I mean isn't it obvious that if a DEA investigation was compromised that the DEA would be taking action? Clearly sounds political in that light.
Wow!
Hope I can get employed on the dock at RITA!
Wow! Good sh*t, man!
Good times!
Curious1 needs to smell the roses, coffee or whatever he/she wants and realize that maybe his boy isn't so squeeky clean.
