Four Chicago police officers have been arrested on multiple felony charges after a long-ranging corruption investigation revealed the men allegedly used their badges to intimidate their way into residents' homes, officials announced Thursday.
The charges against the officers include armed violence, home invasion, aggravated kidnapping and delivery of a controlled substance, according to Cook County State's Attorney Dick Devine.
The officers are part of the department's Special Operations Section, which focuses on gang and drug crimes, he said. They are accused of using their police badges to intimidate people and gain access to their homes, he said, but he refused to reveal many other details of the case until the officers' initial court appearances on Friday afternoon.
"I think you can see by the nature of the charges, home invasion and kidnapping charges, gives some sense of what we're talking about," Devine said.
Chicago Police Superintendent Phil Cline said the officers will be suspended without pay and the department will move to fire them.
"Officers who violate the public trust will be held accountable," Cline said.
Officials said the investigation into the officers began in August 2004. About 14 months later, they received complaints of the officers under investigation not showing up for court appearances.
"During this investigation we looked at numerous cases and have spoken with numerous victims and witnesses," said Debra Kirby, who is in charge of the police department's internal investigations.
Officials identified those charged as Chicago residents Jerome Finnigan, 43; Keith Herrera, 28; Thomas Sherry, 32; and Carl Suchocki, 32. If convicted, they could face up to 30 years in prison.
