Police accused of lying
Three Chicago police officers have been indicted on charges they lied on several occasions about the arrests they made. Officer John Haleas is accused of falsifying information in drunken driving arrests. Officers Michael Bernichio and Daniel Murphy are accused of writing up identical drug arrest reports against two men and then picking which one to charge. Cook County prosecutors have dropped 50 DUI cases brought by Haleas, who had been honored for making more DUI arrests than any other police officer in Illinois. The 12-year veteran is charged with perjury, official misconduct and obstruction of justice.
