2 Chicago cops charged with stealing $5,200 in FBI sting

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:

Two Chicago cops, believing they were stealing $5,200 in cash that belonged to a drug dealer, were actually caught in an undercover FBI sting, federal authorities said Monday.

Wentworth District tactical unit Sgt. Ronald Watts and tactical unit Officer Kallatt Mohammed appeared in handcuffs Monday in federal court in Chicago after being arrested Sunday night.

They are accused of stealing the money on Nov. 21 and charged with theft of government funds.

According to a federal criminal complaint unsealed Monday, Mohammed, 47, a 14-year veteran of the department, took a bag containing the cash and a court-authorized tracking device from a homeless man who was working as an informant for the FBI.

Just think, in Chicago , creepy voters elect politicians like Rahm Emanuel who think only police officers should own guns!
