Chicago Police Sergeant Union President accused of stealing from police sergeants' union

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:

A Chicago Police sergeant was arrested this morning on allegations he stole hundreds of thousands of dollars from the Chicago Police Sergeants Association, sources said.

Sgt. John Pallohusky, president of the association, was the target of a joint investigation by the Chicago Police Department and the Cook County state’s attorney’s office, the sources said.

Officials are expected to reveal more details of their investigation this afternoon.

In 1989, Pallohusky was one of 11 people who pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor fraud charge in connection with a petition drive to put a 1986 nonpartisan mayoral referendum on the ballot, according to newspaper reports.

No word from master jewel thief and former Chicago Police Chief of Detectives William Hanhardt on this one.
