Greg Pyle - court, 9:00AM

The Illinois State Police complaint (case) against former McHenry County Sheriff's Dept. Sgt. Greg Pyle will be back in McHenry County Court today at 9:00AM.

There are motions, including one to replace Judge Gordon Graham, and a petition for a writ of habeas corpus.

Pyle has been an inmate of the Boone County Jail on federal no-bond charges since about August 2012, which - by no strange coincidence (although Sheriff Nygren says it was only a coincidence) - was when his vacation and sick-time pay from MCSD ran out.

I find it incredibly unusual that Nygren and Undersheriff Zinke have never mentioned the termination of Pyle from the McHenry County Sheriff's Department. Is that because Pyle was on the "A-Team" at MCSD; i.e.,  part of the "in-group"?

Was he ever charged regarding the computers or computer parts that "went swimming" in the pond near the Sheriff's Department in January 2012? Were those computers government property? Could they possibly have been evidence in a different case?

Woodstock Fire Rescue participated in the "rescue", but I have never read any statement from MCSD about it.

Who was Pyle's supervisor at the time of his arrest? Wasn't he in charge of the evidence room at MCSD? Did he report to the Chief of Detectives?

When an evidence technician at the McHenry Police Department was arrested, the McHenry PD was properly concerned about the possible compromise of evidence being held. Did MCSD ever express similar concern or undertake an inventory of evidence and confirm that everything was in order in the MCSD evidence room?

Might never see those computers, one would imagine it would look really bad if Pyle was doing his dirty work on County computers and/or on County time.
