I wonder how prevalent this problem is:
A man who said his money disappeared in the custody of the Cook County Sheriff is celebrating a victory Monday. The CBS 2 investigators reported on suspicions that a thief was in the sheriff’s office — two cases within months. Now one man is getting his money back.On Monday at the Markham Courthouse a criminal court judge ordered the county to return the $1,000 bond that went missing to Michael Wilson. Wilson pled guilty to theft last year, but when he went to retrieve the bond money he paid to the sheriff’s office he was told by the circuit court clerk it was missing.
He filed a complaint with internal affairs and their investigation confirmed the money was gone, but the sheriff’s office said it was up to him to sue the sheriff to get it back. [Snip]
A spokesman for the Cook County State’s Attorney tells us their public integrity unit is checking into whether a determine if an investigation should be done as to who stole the money.
They’ve got to check into whether to investigate? Money’s gone, nobody knows why and that doesn’t automatically launch an investigation?
