Chicago Cop accused of posing as elderly father in attempt to steal pension

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:

A Chicago Police officer stole $50,000 from his ailing elderly father to pay off his bills and gambling debts and unsuccessfully attempted to swipe his dad’s retirement savings by impersonating him, Cook County prosecutors said Wednesday.

The 69-year-old Kentucky-born Joseph Simpson Sr. died in November at Westmont’s ManorCare Health Services where he been placed due to his “severely impaired” state brought on by his dementia and Parkinson’s disease, according to court records.

But his namesake son’s alleged crimes didn’t surface until DuPage County officials continued investigating unpaid bill claims by ManorCare and the Illinois Department of Public Health.

The Chicago handgun abolitionists feel safe and secure with only police officers owning guns.
