Bad Cop - Windy city cop charged in plot to rob drug dealers




A Downers Grove police officer charged with official misconduct allegedly schemed with another man to stop suspected drug dealers and steal money from them, DuPage County authorities said Friday.
Randy J. Caudill, 34, remained jailed on $200,000 bail after being charged Thursday with the felonies.



Quote from the article:
Caudill, an eight-year veteran of the suburban police department, is accused of improperly running license plate numbers using police computers to help identify vehicles driven by suspected drug dealers, authorities said.

Caudill allegedly offered tips to the other man involved in the purported plan about stopping their vehicles, then stealing drug money from them, officials said.

The charges filed against Caudill show no one is above the law, DuPage County State's Attorney Joseph Birkett said.
