Hicks fled the country — presumably to Brazil — on the eve of his federal corruption trial in 2003, but since then, monthly pension checks totaling more than $300,000 have been paid to his bank account or cashed by his wife, a Chicago Tribune investigation found. [More]
Let's see, Hicks was a 29-year officer, his"crew" were "rogue officers," his beneficiary wife was an officer, his fugitive-helping son is an officer...
Yep, no doubt about it. Just a few bad apples.
Forget it Jake, it's Chi-Town.

This guy sure resembles Holder. Both from Chicago. Both criminal thugs. Maybe they are related.
"Hicks married Hicks-Pierce, a former Chicago officer, six days before he disappeared in 2003, government records show. She declined to comment after the hearing."
Good grief.
Commenter "Bruce Juice" made this observation: "This is why taxpayers should no longer be responsible for these pensions at all. If this $300K came out of the other cop's pensions,this would have never happened."
As long as taxpayers are responsible for a fugitive cop's well-being, they just don't care. After all, this could happen to one of them.
