Ja'nerra Carson-Slaughter testified Tuesday that during a business trip last year to Springfield, she delivered a cash bribe to former Police Chief Ron Matthews.
Carson-Slaughter said the money, including $800 to pay Matthews' girlfriend's overdue utility bill, had been requested by Matthews for his help in getting a .38-caliber handgun out of a locked police evidence room.
She said Matthews agreed to help make the pistol disappear before it could be used as evidence against Matthews' businessman friend, Ayoub "Dave" Qattoum, who had been arrested on an illegal weapons charge.
Why do I feel like I just read a 419 scam email?

East St. Louis. Where the garbage was not picked up for 14 months because the city was broke. But the mayor had four limosines at his disposal. You will not find a more wretched hive of scum and villiany.
