The filing of the Notice of Motion and Petition to Appoint Special State's Attorney to investigate Undersheriff Andy Zinke deserves an immediate reaction by Sheriff Keith Nygren.
Does anyone know where Nygren is?
The Law Offices of Nye & Associates, Ltd. (Jonathan D. Nye, Esq.) filed the documents today as Case number 12MR000459, based on statements of McHenry County Sheriff's Department Sgt. John Koziol.
The DEA was working a drug case this year and in July contacted Koziol, who was part of a Rockford Area task force. The DEA determined that a large quantity of drugs from Mexico were headed for the RITA Corporation in Crystal Lake. He reported this confidentially to Undersheriff Andy Zinke, who spilled the beans to Brian Goode, President of RITA Corporation, long-time friend of Sheriff Nygren, political supporter (to the tune of $50,000 over the past ten years) of Nygren, and member of the Sheriff's Department Merit Commission.
Will this be a career-ending move by Koziol?
Will he be next to follow Seipler, Schlenker and Milliman? Whistleblowers are not welcome at the McHenry County Sheriff's Department, and all deputies know it.
The Petition will be first heard on Thursday, October 25, at 9:00AM in Judge Thomas A. Meyer's courtroom. He is probably wondering how he got so lucky this year. This couldn't be in a better courtroom!
When Koziol reported to the DEA agent that Zinke had let the cat out of the bag, the DEA agent, according to court papers, said, "are you fucking kidding me?"
Maybe Zinke and Pyle will be roommates in Boone County Jail? Do you think?
You never know who is interested…

Of course, this is just a little "transgression", so Nygren will give Zinke 2 days off, and he'll give himself 1 day off for failure to supervise.
And maybe Zinke won't be allowed to take his Department vehicle on the family trip to Missouri this year for Thanksgiving. Now THAT's discipline...
The merit commission is a puppet show and Nygren and Zinke pull the strings.
Brian Goode had a decoy squad parked at his house for what? High crime area? Remember that?
Nygren and Zinke need to resign.The comment by Zinke accusing Koziol as being disgruntled...BS. The NWH is a shill for Zinke and Nygren.
Koziol is a hero and should be applauded.
Hey Andy...how's the campaign going?
Let's see, who would put Zinke on administrative leave? That would be Nygren.
Unpaid leave? Paid leave? Of course. What is Zinke's rank? Is Undersheriff just a title, like Commander?
I think I will wait for the DEA to say that this is a real issue. I would imagine if the DEA thought that someone interfered with an investigation of their the wouldn't be dependent on an unhappy local to file a private special prosecutor request to prosecute. I think the DEA would be able to handle pressing charges on their own.
