John Haleas, a Chicago Police officer, has been charged with multiple counts of perjury, obstructing justice and official misconduct.
Haleas had been recognized a number of times for being the top DUI cop in the state - he made the most DUI arrests a few years running.
But it turns out that Haleas was just another in a long string of corrupt cops. Haleas, the charges state, would arrest a person for DUI and then simply lie and fabricate evidence at their trial. Over 150 DUI cases that Haleas was involved with have been dismissed completely. And many of the cases where the defendant was found guilty are now being looked at as well.
We may never know exactly how many innocent people were put in jail by this lying, corrupt cop. But the city of Chicago will most certainly be sued for millions of dollars by the innocent people that this bad cop put in jail.
