More Police Bribes Told
Chicago police scandal swirled anew as an admitted burglar claimed police were paid not to arrest him. Prosecutor Frank Ferlic said Roger Burrenson supported tales by three other burglars naming North Damen District officers. Burrenson also said he took part in a burglary and $1000 in bribes were paid to two Damen District officers. The four burglars allege 16 to 15 Damen policemen received up to $100,000 from Chicago and suburbs. The scandal traces to the Summerdale District case from last January.
