Charges weren't dropped but they didn't mean anything since the evidence, the gun, had 'disappeared'.

Arming Criminals
No, not the NRA as is regularly claimed by gun control advocates, but by the authorities themselves. 'Allegedly', the Mayor of Harvey, Illinois instructed a police detective to return a gun to a convicted drug dealer and gang member, a gun that was evidence in a criminal investigation, and have charges of threatening other police officers, dropped.
Charges weren't dropped but they didn't mean anything since the evidence, the gun, had 'disappeared'.
Gotta love Illinois politicians.

YIPES!! That kind of order would have me scurrying to document EVERYTHING! Just to CYA. Names, times, dates, places, conversations, who said what to whom & for how much. . .
And then send multip[le copies to everyone I could trust.
If anyone's going to hang for that kind of a stunt, it wouldn't be me.

Joe, it's apparently quite clear where it disappeared to--right back to the gang member they confiscated it from in the first place. Nice.
I don't know that it was really a Remington .45 . . . . but, yes, that sure sounds like a high-dollar collectible 1911, doesn't it? Makes me wonder if that's why they were willing to take this risk over one pistol that was apparently illegally owned anyway. I don't know if it was really a Remington, but it happens that the guy who started www.WindyCitizen.com used to be the reporter in that court for Medill News, and he wrote some of the first reports back when the case was new . . . he doesn't know the make but says it was definitely a .45.
